Nominate an Exceptional Barnstable Teacher

A great teacher can help a student reach his or her potential, and perhaps change someone's life for the better.

In that spirit, we are looking for nominations for Teacher of the Year. We want to hear from parents, students, teachers and administrators.

What teacher has inspired you or your child? Perhaps that person has gone above and beyond to nurture a student's talents and inspire his or her dreams? Or maybe, with patience and determination, one of Barnstable's teachers helped clear an obstacle to a child’s comprehension and success.

Let us know who deserves this honor and why by sending the information to  jennifer.simckowitz@patch.com . The deadline for nominations is Friday, Dec. 30.
