What Local Teacher Is Making a Difference in Your Life?

Teacher Appreciation Week is May 2-6 and Gilroy Patch wants to know what local teachers are making a difference, have gone above and beyond or have had an impact on your life.

Whether you are a student, parent or community member, we want to hear your story of the great things Gilroy teachers are doing every day to enrich the lives of their students.

Email eric.gneckow@patch.com with a paragraph or two on the teacher or teachers you would like to see recognized during Teacher Appreciation week.

Tell us who they are, where they teach and what makes them special. Each day next week we will run all the pieces that are sent in.

So hurry and tell us about your favorite teacher so they can be properly recognized!
