Oil Patch Bits: BP recognizes 29 Alaska teachers of excellence
BP said May 8, that it will again honor a select group of teachers from across Alaska for their exceptional performance in the classroom, dedication to students and contribution to the state’s future.
Now in its 22nd year, the BP teachers of excellence program will recognize 29 Alaska teachers from across the state. These teachers will receive a $500 gift card and a $500 matching grant to their school. This year, the program attracted 1,000 nominations.
“These educators have changed lives of many young Alaskans, and the BP Teachers of Excellence program is our commitment to continuing investment in Alaska,” said BP Alaska Regional President Janet Weiss. “We’re honored to support outstanding teachers.”
The program honors K-12 teachers from all school districts, including public and private schools. Since the program’s inception in 1995, BP has recognized nearly 750 teachers for their dedication to teaching and inspiring students. This year the program will also honor five school staff members for their support of Alaska’s teachers as BP Educational Allies.
