Rewarding Olympic High Teachers & Students

Rewarding Olympic High Teachers & Students…Can anyone make a difference? Yes, the only requirement is participation. This afternoon, I went to Olympic High School in Santa Monica, to host my last community contest event, “write a sports story to win 2 Superbowl tickets.” Doing so, I decided to also hold a writing contest for the teachers; “what did you learn about yourself from being a teacher?”

It was great to include the teachers in the writing competition. All the students and teachers that participated won a gift card from Starbucks. And I rewarded one female and one male teacher for their creative and authentic writing shopping rewards to (Tory Burch and J.Crew) And the winners are; substitute art teacher Molly O’Hanlon, and history/P.E./woodshop teacher Mark Suminski.

I love to honor and thank every teacher that participated in the contest…thank you for making my life fun and rewarding today.

Teachers inspire us to strive for more in our lives, it is because of them that we experience life fully.

When was the last time you rewarded a teacher? Take the time to do it today…and they will forever treasure your kindness.
