We surprised our Teacher of the Month for February at Clifton Elementary School and could tell the teachers were touched. Not only did our Teacher of the Month tear up, but every other teacher in the room did too.

After coordinating a surprise delivery with Clifton Elementary, it was time to take Stephanie Lynch by surprise. The school actually got all of the first graders together for our delivery so the excitement was multiplied.

We were met with applause, excitement and appreciation in Stephanie Lynch's classroom. After we presented her with all of her prizes including:

  • $50 gift card from Village Inn
  • Pizza and skating party for 30 at Spin City
  • 1-pound bag of Mesa Blend coffee and a $20 gift card from Colorado Legacy Coffee
  • An insulated drink tumbler from Carville's Automart and a $20 Starbucks gift card
  • 1-hour massage from Rimrock Wellness
  • A balloon bouquet from Elegant Balloon Creations
  • Fresh fruit basket from Willy's Wild Carvings
  • $50 Visa Gift Card Josh DeWitt with Farmers Insurance
  • $50 Visa Gift Card Brigette Targett with Targett and Associates Insurance Solutions

We handed off the goods and thanked Stephanie Lynch for all of her hard work and dedication and all that she does for our kids. We even got some tears from Ms. Lynch -- and all of her coworkers in the classroom too. If you'd like to make your teacher cry (in a good way) nominate your teacher for Teacher of the Month below.
