Hey Lubbock and West Texas, let’s take a second to appreciate our teachers—the ones who put up with our kids, deal with endless grading, and somehow manage to make learning fun (or at least tolerable)! Thanks to United Supermarkets and Mrs. Baird’s Bread, six outstanding educators in the South Plains are getting some much-deserved recognition as the latest Teachers on the Rise winners for December and January!
