Teacher of The Week looks very different in 2021. The pandemic has changed the type of nomination letters we get for Teacher of The Week. This school year is filled with a whole bunch of humans who never thought they'd be a teacher. From grandparents, to siblings, a lot of family members are stepping up to help teach during the pandemic...

Being a teacher is so much more than just going to work every day and doing your job. There's so much passion, drive, and commitment to education that backs every teacher. Our new Teacher of The Week truly goes above and beyond for her kindergarteners...

There's nothing better than knowing that when your kid goes off to school, they love their teacher and are having fun. Our brand new Teacher of The Week makes sure that her kids are taken care of and that they thrive in her classroom. Congratulations to our new Teacher of The Week Amanda Milazzo from Brookview Elementary School in Rockford...

Everyone who has stepped into a teacher roll this past year - thank you. The 2020/21 school year looks like nothing we've ever seen before. And yet teachers are still going above and beyond giving their kids an incredible school experience...

As a parent, I'm sure the best feeling is when your kid comes home from school and they're excited about what they learned. They're so excited they tell you all about it RIGHT when they see you. As a teacher and a parent what more can you ask for...

Teachers are incredibly special people. Not only are they amazing at their job, they always go above and beyond what's expected of them. Teachers truly care for their students like their own kids during the school year. Our new Teacher of The Week is the perfect example of that...

When you surprise someone with flowers, cake, and the title of Teacher of The Week and they so humbly reply, "Aw, well I'm just doing my job", you know they're doing what they're meant to do. Our new Teacher of The Week was so surprised by our phone call to tell her the news and congratulate her, and she just kept reminding us there's nothing else she'd rather be doing...

A lot of parents currently have a role in their kid's life they never thought they'd have - teacher. But every single person who has stepped into that role is doing amazing. Our new Teacher of The Week is a parent turned at-home teacher for her son and she's doing an awesome job...
