Teachers

We love teachers so much at 97ZOK so you know we're celebrating this week for Teacher Appreciation Week!

Cute little girl, tons of donuts and awesome teachers, talk about a perfect Friday story right here.

A job fair is being held in Rockford today to help make up for a massive substitute teacher shortage in RPS 205.

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...

As cases and quarantine numbers rise withing RPS 205 schools, some teachers are asking the Board to make the switch to full remote learning.

Some ridiculous fun for those who could use it more than just about anyone.

It takes a special kind of person to be a teacher. I've always felt that teacher's hearts are just a little bit bigger, because they all have so much love for their students. Our new Teacher of The Week is the perfect example of someone who was born to be a teacher...

The 2020 School year is unlike any before, and for teachers, it's nothing like they expected. But that's what makes teachers amazing, no matter what is thrown at them, they make it work and even go above and beyond.
