The contest is open to current Bucks County school educators, grades K through 12. Nominations can be made by students, parents, colleagues and others within the community that want to recognize teachers who exemplify the character it takes to make an impact in and out of the classroom.
“The teachers in our schools go above and beyond the classroom to ensure our children continue down the path to success,” said Jim Merrill, Inspire FCU’s President/CEO. “These teachers spend countless hours educating the youth in our community and it is important they’re recognized for their hard work and dedication.”
