August is QDR’s Gold Star Teacher Appreciation Month! Meet today’s featured teacher: Emili Wallace of Athens Drive High School!

Emili was nominated by Sarah who said “She inspired me to find my passion and that when you enjoy something you can spend your life doing that with pride. She taught me to go for my dreams and not back down.”

Thank you so much for inspiring those around you Emili!

As our featured Gold Star Teacher of the Day for August 1st, Emili has won a $25 gift card to Crabtree Valley Mall and a 1-year Black Card Membership to Planet Fitness which grants you access to any of their 1,700+ locations, guest passes, use of massage chairs, tanning and more!

She’ll also have the chance to win the Grand Prize – $1,500 to stock their classroom courtesy of Crossroads Ford in Cary.
