Nominate a Teacher
Teachers. Many of you know one and everyone has been inspired by one. Yet how often have you stopped and thanked the people we trust with our children?
Teachers do far more than instruct. They teach our children about life, they are nurses at a time we can't be there, they console when feelings are hurt. They are moms and dads all wrapped up in one.
It's time we start recognizing Jacksonville's finest instructors. Every Wednesday, First Coast News' Joy Purdy will highlight a deserving teacher. We're looking for people who have made an impact on children's' lives, someone who has accomplished the extraordinary, or that special person who makes you say wow!
And we need your help.
Click on the link below to let Erin know about a teacher you want to see recognized and watch every Wednesday on Good Morning Jacksonville and First Coast News at 7pm to see that week's Teacher of the Week.
E-mail us to nominate a Teacher of the Week. Send us your name, your phone number, name of the teacher and school.
