It’s “Back to School” – Who will be your Teacher of the Week?

Students both young and old return to the classroom this month. Many of us can remember a teacher that shaped us into who we are today by inspiring critical thinking, a healthy work ethic and a belief that we all have the potential to be successful.

As you probably know, a large portion of lottery funds go towards paying teacher salaries. But did you know that we partner with three television stations across the state - WRAL, WLOS and WITN - to showcase great teachers?

For an idea of what your nomination could produce, check out the story of Matthew Scialdone, a teacher at Middle Creek High School in Wake County.

If you know of a teacher who deserves recognition, nominate him or her here:

WITN Teacher of the Week (email your nomination to totw@witn.com)
WLOS Thanks to Teachers (fill out nomination form)
WRAL Teacher of the Week (email your nomination to lloveland@wral.com)

Do we have a local station in Piedmont doing this promotion for teacher of week?NC Lottery
FOX8/WGHP is our Triad draw station, but there is not a channel in your area doing a teacher of the week promotion in association with the lottery.

Why so many teachers lose their jobs because of no money to pay them. Some have to go to other states to find jobs. I'm glad to see some of that money goes to pay salaries for teachers. I play the lottery faithfully.
