The Dallas Mavericks and Academy Sports + Outdoors are thrilled to recognize two local teachers for their extraordinary service and hard work throughout the pandemic. The man and woman were recognized in a game night suite right before the holidays when the Mavericks faced the Minnesota Timberwolves on Teacher Appreciation Night.
The Mavs have long joined other sports teams across the league to host special nights dedicated to educators.
Teachers in attendance at the Dec. 21 received special recognition for their dedication to the future of young people. They also got special discounts on tickets, and selected attendees received other special gifts and prizes.
