The Dallas Mavericks and The UPS Store, in association with Teach For America DFW, teamed-up to present the 13th Annual Classroom Champions Program, created to recognize North Texas educators for their work in the classroom. Each month from September until April, two DFW Metroplex teachers were selected as Classroom Champion “Teachers of the Month” and recognized at home games throughout the Mavs season.
MFFLs had the chance to vote for five Classroom Champion “Teachers of Year” and the winning teachers were awarded $1,000 for themselves and $1,000 for their school.
Over 63,000 votes were counted and the winners were announced this week via social media:
Justin Artis, Uplift Pinnacle Preparatory
Tameika Sanchez, E.
