Rayovac and Steve Spangler Science Teachers Bring Science to Life Contest
Teachers hold a special place in my heart. Not only are they the souls who teach our future, but there are also a good number of teachers in my family. My aunt is a first grade teacher in Alabama and my sister in law is a middle school French teacher here in Louisiana. I also have my children’s teachers who have made their mark and helped direct my children in their current paths. The teachers in the Zachary Community School District Gifted Program are a small group who have made a major impact in my own family’s life. If it wasn’t for their hard work and inspiration, many exceptional students would be left to find ways to enhance the school experience on their own, including my son.
He’s had some amazing teachers in elementary who encouraged his love of science and math. His curriculum included a few out of town day trips to enhance the learning process. As you can see by this photo below from one of his field trips, he liked bugs at the time.
Rayovac is recognizing the hard work and dedication inspiring teachers put forward for their students and how they bring learning to life in the classroom. With Teacher Appreciation Week coming up (May 2-6), there’s no better time than the present to show teachers how much they are appreciated. Rayovac has partnered with Steve Spangler Science to host the Teachers Bring Science to Life Contest:

Teachers can even nominate themselves for this unique experience!
