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 and Kanki Japanese House of Steaks and Sushi 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 him or her as the QDR Gold Star Teacher of the Month which includes special recognition on the air, on social media, a $100 Visa gift card from April Stephens Team of eXp Realty, Make Your Move With Confidence, and $100 from Kanki Japanese House of Steak and Sushi, For Food, Fun and A Little Fire.”

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!
