Sand Springs Elementary is seeking nominations for a teacher of the month program to recognize educators making a difference in their students' lives, according to a November 11 statement.
The program is a partnership between Utah PTA and One Kind Act a Day. It aims to celebrate teachers who spread kindness in classrooms, schools, and communities while encouraging positive family engagement. Each month, one selected teacher will receive a $500 classroom grant to recognize their impact on students.
Nominations are open to students, parents, fellow educators, and school administrators. To nominate a teacher, individuals must provide their own contact information, the teacher's name, school, grade or subject, and a photo of the teacher. The process also requires a short description of 250-500 words explaining how the teacher demonstrates kindness and positively impacts students while promoting family engagement.
Nominations for the award are open throughout the school year, with a winner announced each month.
