While school teachers may be under-recognized by many, Fulton Homes continues to acknowledge educators for their unwavering sacrifice and dedication to their students. As the new school year begins, the Tempe-based homebuilder is once again taking the lead to support teachers and education.

For the 14th consecutive year Fulton Homes’ “Teacher of the Week” program returns to honor Valley school teachers. Throughout the school year the program showcases teachers who inspire their students. Both students and parents can nominate their favorite educator each week for that teacher’s chance to win $300 from Fulton Homes and other prizes. The chosen educator will be announced each Friday from 6:20 to 7:20 a.m. on KNIX’s Ben and Matt in the Morning Show, heard at 102.5 FM. Students and parents can nominate their favorite teacher each week by visiting www.knixcountry.com, and submitting a brief form describing why their teacher deserves the title.

In May a ‘Teacher of the Year’ will be chosen from the list of weekly winners, and they will be presented with a $1,000 check at a ceremony honoring all the weekly winners. Based on the entries submitted, a panel of judges will select a winner and the teacher will be announced at the May banquet.

“Teacher of the Week is our longest-running program at Fulton Homes,” said Fulton Homes CEO Doug Fulton. “This campaign honors local educators who go the extra mile for their students.”
