American Paper & Twine Announces Teacher of the Week - Week Two

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Sept. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- “We have a great deal of admiration for those who dedicate their lives to educating our children,” said Lonnie Spivak, American Paper & Twine Co. e-Commerce and Marketing Manager. “Every week we carefully review all of the entries to find a teacher that exemplifies what it means to be a teacher, and this week we’ve selected Carla Copous.”

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.

“Mrs. Copous has been rated a level 5 teacher in the state of Tennessee for the past three years. Her test scores in both social studies and reading/language arts are consistently above the state average,” Larry McCartney, Principal at Bradford Elementary School said. “Carla serves on the data team, anti bullying team, and the advisory council. She shows leadership and professionalism in her dealings with students, co-workers, and parents. Every school should be as fortunate as Bradford Elementary School and have a Mrs. Carla among their staff.”
