The United Family Celebrates Teachers Across Texas

For the 14th year in a row, United Supermarkets and Mrs Baird’s have partnered to kick off the Teachers on the Rise program, recognizing outstanding teachers nominated by their students. 

For this year’s program, The United Family and Mrs Baird’s hosted three kickoffs at United Family stores in Lubbock, Amarillo, and Frisco. The events marked the beginning of a year-long celebration that will see exceptional teachers from Lubbock, Amarillo, and the North Texas area honored for their commitment to education. 

Since its inception, the Teachers on the Rise program has received thousands of nominations, each heartfelt testament to the positive impact they have on their students. Over the past decade, hundreds of educators have been recognized for their hard work and dedication. This year, the tradition continues with three teachers celebrated each month – one from an elementary school, one from a middle school or junior high, and one from a high school. 

The program acknowledges the incredible efforts of these educators and also offers students and their nominated teachers a chance to win exciting prizes each month. It’s a way to incentivize students and say “thank you” to teachers who go above and beyond in their classrooms.

At the kickoff events, representatives from Mrs Baird’s and The United Family handed out back-to-school donut treats and provided information on how to submit nominations. 

The program is a testament to the impact that teachers have on their students and the community’s appreciation for their efforts. With the support of The United Family and Mrs Baird’s, this program continues to shine a spotlight on the heroes of our schools, ensuring they receive the celebrations they truly deserve.
