Do you know a teacher who makes learning fun and inspires students to learn? Nominations are now open for the Little Rock Family Amazing Educators Award, in which we honor central Arkansas teachers who have made a difference in the lives of their students.

In our third annual Amazing Educators program, we'll recognize one winning teacher in four categories: Elementary School, Middle/Junior High School, High School and Special Needs. Winners will be featured in the January 2016 issue of Little Rock Family and receive a prize package from our sponsors.

Private and public school teachers in Pulaski County and in the cities of Bryant, Benton, Cabot and Conway are eligible. The deadline to nominate is September 28, 2014.
