The law firm of Burch & Cracchiolo, P.A. announced the next chapter of the “B&C Star Teacher Award” program. After a successful run honoring more than 60 outstanding teachers across the Valley, the Firm is enhancing the program by increasing the award to $2,000 and shifting to a quarterly recognition format. A Valley teacher will now be chosen each quarter through a nominating process on the firm’s website, www.bcattorneys.com. In addition, the teacher’s school will receive an additional check for $500 to be used at the principal’s discretion.

Nominations will continue to be accepted from students, former students, friends and parents who wish to honor and thank a teacher who has had a meaningful impact on their life. Many teachers spend their own money to cover classroom supplies, field trips, and other non-covered expenses throughout the school year. B&C hopes this enhanced award will help ease that burden for one deserving teacher each quarter.
“Because we are so proud of this program Burch & Cracchiolo will continue honoring teachers in our state by increasing the award with the ‘B&C Star Teachers Award.’ Teachers educate and inspire our children every day by their commitment and caring,” says Firm president Susie Ingold. “Educators have played a huge role in the lives of our attorneys and staff, so this is a natural fit for our Firm,” continued Ingold.
Nominations are open to all K–12 teachers who teach in Maricopa County. Winners will be notified and then presented with a check at their school by a member of Burch & Cracchiolo. Photos and/or video will be taken to post on the firm’s website and social media. To nominate, go to www.bcattorneys.com and click on the “Nominate a B&C Star Teacher” button, and tell us why you think your teacher deserves the B&C Star Teachers Award.
