By: Debi Lampert-Rudman Students were invited to nominate their teacher by writing essays, poems or thank you letters that share how their teacher has influenced their life and why they appreciate and admire their teacher. Entries were judged on the compelling nature of the teacher’s qualities, the sincerity of the student’s appreciation and the quality of expression and writing. Fattell will be recognized at an event at the Princeton Barnes & Noble where she will receive a special award acknowledging her achievement, a set of Sterling Classics books for their personal or classroom library, and additional recognition and praise from the community. Dylan Goldstein, who wrote the winning essay, will receive a certificate of recognition and will be honored at the Princeton store during a ceremony for the winning teacher on Tuesday, April 17 at 7pm. Fattell will now be entered into the regional competition where six winners will be chosen. Each regional winner will receive a NOOK Color™ eReader and a $500 Barnes & Noble Gift Card. From the pool of six regional winners, Barnes & Noble will name one teacher the “Barnes & Noble National Teacher of the Year”. The winning teacher will receive $5,000 and the title of “My Favorite Teacher.” The winner will be recognized at a special community celebration at a local Barnes & Noble store. The winning teacher’s school will receive $5,000. The winner will also receive five copies of the winning essay published in hardcover by Tikatok.com, the site where students create and publish their own books, and a $250 Tikatok Gift Card that will allow the teacher to publish select stories written by students in their class. The Barnes & Noble My Favorite Teacher program provides students with the opportunity to tell their communities how much they appreciate their teachers.
