Bill Nye, The Science Guy, Could Come To Boonville
We’ve had a lot of local teachers getting nominated for some really cool awards lately. In case you didn’t know, the majority of your children’s teachers spend their own money to make sure your kids have the best school year ever. Whether it’s decorating their class, buying awards or prizes, treats and fun things for the classroom, the list goes on and on, but the point remains the same: today’s teachers give a lot of themselves and their pocketbooks when they absolutely don’t have to. Any chance I get to enter a local teacher that I’ve noticed going the extra mile, I sign them up! Earlier this year, I noticed a really unique one, and it included my childhood TV science teacher. Reader’s Digest has partnered with Bill Nye, The Science Guy, to find America’s Favorite Teacher. The grand prize winner will receive $25,000, a trip to Hawaii, an appearance in Reader’s Digest, and, coolest of all, Bill Nye will host a school assembly at the winner’s school! The hunt started with submissions of inspiring stories about teachers who are truly making a difference in the lives of the children in their community. I was not surprised to find out that a local teacher is in the running, but now she needs our help!
