Cartwright School District teacher Janet Gordon honored as April’s Burch & Cracchiolo Star Teacher

Published on in Star Teacher Program

(April 27, 2023…Phoenix, AZ) In April we honor Janet Gordon as our Star Teacher. Janet has been teacher for 35 years in the Cartwright School District and in 2023 at Charles L. Harris Elementary School at 55th Avenue south of Thomas.

While Janet’s students have some challenges, they are amazing and learning new and difficult things every day. The monies received will go towards a “friendship bench” on their newly renovated playground!

A Valley teacher is chosen each month to receive $500 through a nominating process on the firm’s website www.bcattorneys.com. Nominations are accepted from students, former students and parents who wish to honor and thank a teacher who has had a profound impact on their life. Many teachers spend their own money to augment the costs of classroom supplies, field trips and other non-covered costs that arise throughout the school year. B&C hopes to alleviate that burden for one deserving teacher each month. In addition, the school where the educator teaches receives a check for $250 to be used at their discretion.

Nominations are open to all teachers in K-12 who teach in Maricopa County. Winners will be notified and then presented a check at their school by a member of Burch & Cracchiolo. Photos and/or video will be taken to post on the firm website and social media. To nominate go to www.bcattorneys.com, click on the “Nominate a Star Teacher” button and tell us why you think your teacher deserves the B&C Star Teacher Award.
