Most people have had one, and are quick to recall the memories surrounding them. That is, a favorite teacher.

This school year, Current is teaming with Market District to provide our young readers with the unique opportunity to nominate their favorite teachers. Beginning this next month, Current will be accepting 100-word essays from schoolchildren of all ages. These essays should briefly describe who their favorite teacher is and why they are deserving of some community recognition.

The best part is, is that this is a win-win for everyone. The winning essayist will win a lunchtime party at school with their teacher and their class. The winning teacher will also win a prize from Market District.

All essays must be submitted to [email protected] by Sept. 15. In the subject line of the email, write: Current in Westfield teacher essay

Every month Current is holding a teacher of the month contest! Submit your winning essay by the 15th of each month, to [email protected].
