American Paper & Twine Teacher of the Week – Week Six

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Oct. 10, 2013 - PRLog -- “Each week we review hundreds of entries advocating for incredible teachers across the Tennessee Titans listening area,” said Ruth Elliott, American Paper & Twine eMerchandising Manager. “This week’s winner stood out for her commitment to not only academic excellence, but to character development as well. .”

“Mrs. Stafford is an excellent level five (5) Biology teacher with excellent TVASS scores. She is a hands on teacher who develops tremendous relationships with her students,” said David Armstrong, Assistant Principal of Dyer County High School. “In 2012, Mrs. Stafford implemented a program called ‘Project Wisdom’ that deals with the character of students. Each morning a message is read to the student body about being a better person based on character and how we should treat others. Mrs. Stafford also leads our FCA group and was responsible for this year’s ‘Rachel’s Challenge’. She strives daily to make her students and Dyer County High School a better place. Dyer County High School is fortunate to be blessed with a teacher of this quality and character.”

Each week during the Titans’ season, submissions are reviewed to find exceptional teachers. The winning teachers receive a $400 gift basket full of supplies for their classroom, and a new winner is announced every Tennessee Titans game. At the end of the season a ‘Teacher of the Year’ is selected from the Teacher of the Week winners. This deserving teacher will receive an award, a gift basket of school supplies (worth approximately $800) and tickets to the December 29th game vs. the Houston Texans.
