Conway Public Schools
’Teacher of the Week‘ Awards
PROG R AM
SPONSORS
The Conway Public
Schools Foundation
has introduce a
program commemorating
teachers, starting with a district-wide
‘Teacher of the Week’ initiative.
This program aims to recognize the
outstanding efforts of educators in the
community by highlighting those who have
excelled in their teaching programs and
methods. This initiative is sponsored by
PattiCakes Bakery, and Faulkner Lifestyle
as a media sponsor, highlighting the
Teachers of the Week in each publication.
The program builds on the Foundation’s
longstanding efforts to partner with
educators to enrich the learning environment
for students. “The mission of the
Conway Public Schools Foundation is
to empower educators to elevate the
student experience,” Drew Spurgers,
CPSF Board President, said. “Anything
we can do to encourage our educators
and recognize their efforts is worthy
work. We’re proud of this program!”
Each week, CPSF will recognize
local educators for their outstanding
performance based on the community’s
nominations. Teachers can be nominated
by administrators, parents, other teachers,
and even students. One recipient is
selected and announced live weekly on
CPSF’s Facebook page.
The first educator to be featured in this
program was Julie Turner, a Kindergarten
teacher at Ellen Smith Elementary. “Thank
you so much for the honor of being the
Teacher of the Week. I am overwhelmed
with gratitude and feel very blessed to
be the first recipient,” said Mrs. Turner.
“This program is the perfect way to honor
teachers for their hard work and dedication
during these unprecedented times.”
Mrs. Turner was nominated by her
principal, Ms. Holly King. “Mrs. Turner
has a huge heart and has worked so
hard to learn how to effectively teach
kindergarteners virtually. She loves her
students and is always willing to help
others! We are so blessed to have her at
Ellen Smith,” said Ms. King.
If you know of a teacher who does
an extraordinary job and goes above
and beyond, visit CPSFoundation.com

teacher at any time.
