I found this helpful Thank You! Your vote will be tallied soon!

As the sister of a school teacher and as a parent, it's my opinion that teachers are not appreciated as they should be for the important work they do.  When I find an opportunity to reward teachers, I like to spread the word.

Parents and students have a chance to recognize exceptional teachers this month!  Land's End announced a contest called "Teachers Light the Way" earlier this week.   

Land's End will recognize outstanding teachers that have made a difference in the life of a student, a school or a community.

• Forty-five (45) teachers will receive the Lands' End Lighthouse Award.
• Three (3) Grand Prize winners will receive between $2000 and $5000 each.  Prize winning teacher receives an additional $2000 to $5000 for their school.
• Forty-two (42) Honorable Mention  winning teachers will receive a $100 Lands End gift card.

As an added incentive, people who nominate a Grand Prize winning teacher will also receive a $250 Lands' End gift card. People who nominate an Honorable Mention winning teacher will get a $25 Lands End gift card.
