Sun East’s “Best Teacher Under the Sun” Award
Each year Sun East also awards local educators who consistently fosters an empowering learning environment for their students. The Best Teacher Under the Sun award recognizes outstanding achievements of teachers who – through their innovative and nurturing programs – inspire students to challenge themselves beyond the norm.
The award application is open to all educators who teach in schools that are part of the credit union’s charter membership program. School administrators, faculty, parents, and students can nominate teachers. The awards committee at Sun East selects one winning teacher from each category of elementary, middle, and high school levels.
