Staples had its fourth annual Thank a Teacher contest that they say gives students and parents a chance to recognize an outstanding teacher who has made a positive impact on the lives of students.
Twenty teachers received a gift card prize for them and for their school to stock up on supplies needed for their classrooms.
“Jessica took the necessary exams to teach History in both English and Spanish to provide any student regardless of language barriers equal access to education. She is always willing to take summer classes or attend professional development to improve her lessons for her students. She does not hesitate to use her own money for her students in and out of her classroom. Without any prior knowledge, she also has become the tennis and soccer coach and has led our teams to victory. She is without a doubt an amazing teacher,” says Staples
