Teacher Of The Year!

Do you know an Awesome Teacher who teaches Americanism and Patriotism?

 The Veterans Of Foreign Wars (VFW) is seeking nominees for Teacher Of The Year. Needs to be turned in by February 15, 2016

This is a national program.

TEACHER OF THE YEAR

Without our nation’s veterans, America wouldn't be the great nation it is today. Our youth deserve to learn about our rich history, traditions and the role of our veterans in creating and shaping America.

The VFW Teacher of the Year award contest recognizes three exceptional teachers for their outstanding commitment to teaching Americanism and patriotism to their students. Each year, a classroom elementary, junior high and high school teacher whose curriculum focuses on citizenship education topics—for at least half of the school day in a classroom environment—can be nominated for the Smart/Maher VFW National Citizenship Education Teacher Award. Winners receive:

A $1,000 award for professional development expenses.

A $1,000 award for his/her school.

Two award plaques: one for the teacher, the other for his/her school.

An all-expenses-paid trip to attend a VFW conference to receive their award.

I hope you will pass this on to friends and family members who have school age children and lets get those great teachers nominated and rewarded for such great work.

Happy Scrappin',
