Virginia Lottery Super Teacher Awards

The Virginia Lottery and the Virginia PTA are planning to honor local teachers who meet the distinction of “Super Teacher.” The sixth annual Virginia Lottery Super Teacher awards will help shine a spotlight on a valuable Virginia resource: dedicated and talented public school teachers who really make a difference in shaping young lives. Do you know a York County School Division teacher who should be named the next “Super Teacher” in Virginia? The Lottery is seeking nominations for any K-12 Virginia public school teacher for the Super Teacher awards. Eight winners will be chosen. Each award consists of a prize of $2,000 and an additional $2,000 classroom credit from Virginia-based The Supply Room Companies. This year, all eight Super Teacher schools will qualify for a second contest. One school will be chosen to win an ADDITIONAL $5,000 credit from The Supply Room Companies to purchase items for the entire school. The school will be selected through a Facebook contest.

Anyone 18 or older can nominate a teacher by completing a nomination form and writing a short essay. Official rules and nomination forms are available at www.vasuperteacher.com. Nominations must be made by February 15, 2013. The winners will then be selected on the strength of their nominations.
