Teacher appreciation
Nominate a teacher
One teacher wins a $250 gift card.
Teachers spend their own money on our kids every single year. Tell us about one who made a difference, and the community will pick the winner.
How it works
1. Nominate
Nominations are open through August 5. Nominating puts a Greater Austin-area teacher on the ballot.
2. Everyone votes
Voting runs August 6-8. Every nominated teacher goes on a public ballot and the community votes. The teacher with the most votes wins.
3. The winner gets $250
One digital $250 gift card, and we'll make sure their school hears about it.
Nominations close August 5, 2026 at 11:59 PM Central. Voting runs August 6-8.
Nominations are closed
Thank you to everyone who nominated a teacher. Voting runs August 6-8.
