Appreciating the worthwhile contribution of our teachers is one of the best things to do. A least we will be assured our teachers would feel great during this special day. This fate will happen to a great teacher during the Kiwanis Teacher Appreciation activity that will be launched in August 14, 2008. The venue of the momentous activity will be the First Baptist Church Activity Center.

Wendy Seidenschwarz, chair of the Kiwanis Teachers Appreciation team said the event will be one of the biggest activities of the organization for this year. He said the awarding for the noble contribution of teachers is held annually to encourage people and students in the community to support the educators of the country.

The Chamber of Commerce in Stuttgart, Arkansas just announced that tickets for the said occasion is pegged at $12 and interested participants would just visit the chamber’s office strategically-situated at 507 South Main Street. They can also call (870) 673-1602 to buy their tickets and support the event, says event director Angie Reinhart of the Tuttgart Chamber of Commerce.

Seidenschwarz said the luncheon activity is their group’s show of thanking both public and private educators for their biggest participation in the country’s education campaign. The highlight of the event will be the announcement of the “2008 Teacher of the Year” award. Dr. Laura Bednar, superintendent at the Stuttgart Public High School will announce the lucky winners, while Lynn Keller, education committee chairperson of the chamber will also share her ideas about education programs which will also include CenturyTel GREAT grant program. Many boarding school of the country have also shown interest at supporting the event.

In a related development, local business in the county already donated many items to make the teachers happy. Local businesses like Mayflower and Tyson Foods are among the business on the line to give door prizes. Many people in the academe are now saying the success of the activity on August 14.
