Big Apple Pizza Teacher Recognition Program

Celebrating Our Outstanding Educators

We're Excited to announce our weekly teacher recognition program, celebrating the dedicated educators in our school district! 
 

Do you know an amazing teacher who deserves some extra appreciation? Each week, we’re selecting two outstanding teachers—one from the North County Schools and one from the South County Schools—to receive a $25 gift card to Big Apple Pizza! 

Nominate your favorite educators and tell us in three sentences or less why they deserve to be recognized! One teacher from each zone will be randomly selected to win—North County winners will receive their gift card from Big Apple Pizza in Fort Pierce, and South County winners will get theirs from the PSL location on Bayshort Blvd.

Winners will be announced every Friday!
