Gold Star Teacher of the Month

Gold Star Teacher of the Month

94.7 QDR and our friends at Crabtree 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, a $100 gift card to Auntie Anne’s at Crabtree, AND a $100 Visa gift card provided by Crabtree. 

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!

Crabtree – celebrating 50 years as Raleigh’s premiere shopping destination.
