Lubbock-Area Teachers Win October Teachers On The Rise Award

The United Family and Mrs. Baird's Bread named three South Plains teachers, Arianna Allison, Haley George and Jamie Paiva, the October winners of the sixteenth annual Teachers On The Rise program.

Allison comes from Colonial Heights Elementary School in Brownfield ISD, and George comes from Levelland Middle School in Levelland ISD. Paiva is from Roosevelt High School in Roosevelt ISD. The Texas Tech Club and Atmos Energy sponsor the program.

Abie Rampy, director of public relations for The United Family, called the program one of the company's favorite ways to celebrate the heart of local communities. Each winner gets a $100 United Supermarkets gift card, lunch for two at the Texas Tech Club and a gift box of Mrs. Baird's goodies.

Students get something out of it too. Any student who nominates a winning teacher receives a $50 American Express gift card. Shane Sumrow, the program's director, said nominations arrive daily from students, parents and family members who describe how South Plains teachers go above and beyond for children. He called reading them "such an honor." Nominations go through TeachersOnTheRise.com.

The program is on pace for a record number of nominations this school year.
