Teacher of the Month Program

The Bowie Education Committee sponsors this program to recognize Bowie teachers and educators at eligible schools, who are making a difference in the lives of Bowie children. A "Teacher of the Month" is selected each month from September through June. Nominations may be made by parents, students, teachers, principals, administrative staff, or other Bowie community members and are accepted all year.

The honoree will receive a $100 savings bond, provided through a generous donation from BB& T Bank. The bond and a certificate of recognition are presented at a City Council meeting. Main Street Caterers provides each Teacher of the Month with a gourmet "lunch box" for the teacher and his/her principal to enjoy a special lunch together.

Press releases are sent to local newspapers and an article about the teacher will be published in the Bowie Spotlight, the City's newsletter. All teachers in eligible elementary, middle and high schools located in the City may be nominated. Nomination packets with additional information have been sent to all eligible Bowie schools. The forms are also available at City Hall or may be printed from this web site.
