Background:

The City Commission approved the Teacher of the Month program to run from October through May of the school year, as a way to recognize our outstanding Sunrise teachers. The principal from each Sunrise school selects a teacher that best represents the qualities befitting a Teacher of the Month recipient.

In recognition of their efforts to make a difference in the lives of the children of Sunrise, these nominees will each receive the Teacher of the Month award at a City Commission meeting and a $50.00 gift card.
