The fall semester is drawing to a close and soon area schools will be dismissed for the Christmas holiday. But, before that happens, one Deep East Texas area teacher is going to receive a significant early gift.

Each semester, KICKS 105 and Whataburger team up to present a $1,000 classroom grant to an East Texas educator. To be eligible, teachers simply need to be nominated...and time is running out.

You can nominate a teacher (or as many as you want) at this link. But, don't wait too long because we'll be drawing for our winner very soon.

Previous $1,000 Winners

  • Brandy Hughes - Huntington ISD
  • Felicia Arnold - Dunbar Primary (Lufkin)
  • Amanda Venegas - Brookhollow Elementary (Lufkin)
  • Heather Jacks - Thomas J Rusk (Nacogdoches ISD)

When you nominate a teacher, you'll be asked to write a few lines about him or her. You don't have to go into a deep essay as to why the teacher is deserving, but please say a few more words than "She is nice and sweet", or "He is entertaining".

When we surprise the winning teacher with the news, we will be reading what the nominator had to say about him or her.
