Albuquerque Public Schools issued the following announcement on April 8.
Many of our teachers, and staff for that matter, go above and beyond for the students and families we serve. That has become even more evident during this public health crisis.
Thanks to all who go above and beyond every day. And congratulations to the 12 teachers who were nominated by colleagues, students, and families a few months ago (many of whom appear in the magazine photos along with them). The honor is well deserved!
