LUBBOCK, Texas — The United Family and Mrs Baird’s Bread® announced the November winners of the eleventh annual Teachers On The Rise program. Nominations have poured in from students and families across the South Plains explaining the ways their teacher(s) go above-and-beyond the call of duty and why they deserve special recognition.

Congratulations to our winners from November: Chadna Hawkins of Wolffarth Elementary (Lubbock ISD), Lauren Atkinson of Evans Middle School (Lubbock ISD) and Amber Johnson of Lamesa High School (Lamesa ISD).

 “We want to congratulate all of our teachers and students who were a part of this round of winners,” said Nancy Sharp, corporate engagement director for The United Family. “There are so many teachers who are deserving of recognition in our communities. With plenty of the year ahead of us, we encourage everyone to keep nominating!”

“In our 11 years of hosting the program in the South Plains, we have had the privilege of honoring more than 275 deserving teachers in our area,” said Shane Sumrow, director of Teachers On The Rise. “We know there are many teachers in our classrooms who deserve recognition, and we look forward to receiving many more nominations throughout the school year.”
