JEWISH NEWS

THE DETROIT

The Detroit Jewish News 
Educator of the Year

Teachers are often the unsung 
heroes who inspire our children to 
greater heights and whose lessons 
often last a lifetime. 
The Jewish News wants to honor 
the best-of-the-best teachers in 
our community — in elementary, 
middle and high school. 

To nominate a Jewish teacher or a teacher at 
one of Metro Detroit’s Jewish day schools, 
send an email to 
jheadapohl@thejewishnews.com 
with “Best Teachers” in the subject line. 
Include the teacher’s name, school, grade/
subject and why you think they deserve to be 
recognized. 
Then look for our “Educators of the Year” in 
the May 19, Cap & Gown issue.
