Gold Star Teacher of the Month

Gold Star Teacher of the Month

94.7 QDR and our friends at April Stephens Team at EXP Realty want to put the spotlight on the hard-working teachers around the Triangle who educate, inspire, and motivate our kids to be the best version of themselves. Somehow ‘Thank You’ isn’t enough – which is why we want to give them special recognition with our QDR Gold Star Teacher of the Month award!

Click below to fill out our short form and nominate a teacher that you feel has gone above and beyond for their students!

Click here to make your nomination!

Each month, we’ll choose a nominee and recognize them as the QDR Gold Star Teacher of the Month which includes special recognition on the air, on social media, and a $100 Visa gift card provided by April Stephens Team at EXP Realty. 

While you’re in the carpool lane or helping with virtual learning, send yourself a reminder to help QDR shine the spotlight on the teacher who goes the extra mile for our future!
