This program allows customers, employees of FSIoffice, and members of our communities to nominate teachers who excel in the classroom and create a passion for learning among their students.  Nominees receive gift packs with a variety of supplies to use in their classroom. Each week of the Panthers regular season through the December 15^th game, a winner will be chosen.  Weekly winners receive an additional supply of classroom items, including a full case of paper and two tickets to the December 15^th Panthers home game against the New York Jets.  From the 14 weekly winners, a Teacher of the Year will be chosen, recognized at the game and given a Grand Prize pack for their classroom and $5,000 for their school to purchase supplies.  Last year, Jennifer Cantrell, a teacher at Ewing Middle School in Gaffney, SC, won the Teacher of the Year Award.

FSIoffice recognizes the need for greater support and increased funding for teachers and schools.  The goal of the Teacher of the Week program is to give back to the teachers that give to the children in our community every day.  The program has had growing success since 2010.  Last year a program record of 547 nominations were received.  Please visit our website to nominate a teacher http://www.fsioffice.com/forms/teacheroftheweek.php
