They have the spirit and passion of what teaching is about!!!
According to Bright Start¹s President, Gary Sonora
Surdam: "From the very beginning of our company, we
felt that there is more to being a teacher than just teaching
material. It takes a teacher that can touch the hearts of
the children to make a difference. A teacher that can touch
a child¹s heart can change the world. When your life
has been touched, you are never the same. We are very happy
to be presenting this Awards Show in partnership with The
Remedial Reading & Learning Center of Los Angeles."
Antoinette "Toni" Laudemilk, Executive Director
of The Remedial Reading & Learning Center is excited
to be a part of this awards show: "Teachers are our
unsung heroes. They need to be rewarded for the knowledge
they impart to our children. Frequently, knowledge doesn't
come from books. It comes from individuals who care, not
only about the academic skills their students are developing,
but the emotional growth as well. It's about creating the
whole child and our Awards provide students the opportunity
to give something back to that special teacher."
