Nick’s Kids Foundation Honors 47 Local Teachers at its Ninth-Annual Teacher Excellence Awards
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Nick's Kids Foundation is honoring 47 local teachers for their dedication both inside and outside the classroom at its Ninth Annual Teacher Excellence Awards on Dec. 11.
In lieu of a formal banquet, the foundation is opting to host a drive-by celebration honoring the teachers, hosted by Terry Saban, co-founder of Nick's Kids and wife of Alabama football coach Nick Saban. The even will take place at the construction site for the foundation's latest addition, an all-inclusive playground at Sokol Park.
In addition to lunch provided by Full Moon Bar-B-Que, each teacher will receive a commemorative plaque as well as $500 in gift cards to local Tuscaloosa businesses.
Congratulations from Bama Central to all teachers for your hard work during these trying times. It is very much appreciated.
