The main ballroom at the Embassy Suites in Cary is a frenzy of activity right now, and that's before a single guest has arrived for tonight's banquet honoring the 2008 Wake County Teacher of the Year. Who will that be? Well, we'll find out at roughly 8 p.m. tonight, which gives you a few hours to refresh your memory of our ten finalists.
Tonight's banquet celebrates all of the school Teachers of the Year who were nominated by their peers from WCPSS schools. There will be door prizes and gifts for them, further gifts for the ten county-wide finalists, and an impressive prize package for the 2008 Wake County Teacher of the Year.
How's that possible? It's all due to the generosity of corporate sponsors who make the Teacher of the Year program possible every year. They know that teachers are the heart and soul of the Wake County Public School System, and have made a public commitment to elevating and supporting excellence in teaching. So we'd like to offer a special thanks to the following:
- Wachovia Bank, our primary sponsor
- The Angus Barn
- Center for International Understanding
- Carolina Hurricanes
- Cary Chamber of Commerce
- Delta Kappa Gamma/Gamma Theta Chapter
- Embassy Suites
- Hunt Ward & Lifetouch Photography
- IBM
- NCAE
- North Carolina Bar Association
- News and Observer
- Office Depot
- Pierce Group Benefits
- Progress Energy
- Saturn of Raleigh/Cary
- Michael Strawbridge & Strawbridge Studios
- Triangle Temporaries
Tune in later tonight to find out the name of Wake County's 2008 Teacher of the Year, and thanks again to the sponsors who support this event.
