Calling All Inspirational Teachers! Our Town, Our Heroes Wants You!

February 20, 2012 10:00 am CT

Every one of us has had a teacher touch our lives in a special way, and Driving the Midwest wants to recognize teachers across Illinois with a special Our Town, Our Heroes round dedicated solely to them. Teachers work hard to inspire students of all ages to achieve all they can and deserve special attention and recognition. Nominations for special Illinois teachers will be accepted until Thursday, March 1 at 5 p.m. CST. We will announce the finalists and begin voting on Monday, March 5.

If you know a teacher deserving of a heroic recognition, nominate him or her today on the Our Town, Our Heroes main page.

Be sure to check out the current finalists for the first round of the 2012 Our Town, Our Heroes program for inspiration!
