Have a Favorite Teacher? Tell Panera All About It

Panera Bread locations in Rochester Hills are participating in the Metro Detroit Top Teacher contest, during which area students and parents can nominate their favorite K-12 teacher for the chance to be honored as the area's top educator.

The winning teacher will receive a Panera Bread breakfast for their clasroom, a $200 Panera gift card and $100 in supplies. Winners will be announced during National Teacher's Week May 7-11. 

Aside from rewarding the winning teacher, the individual who nominated them will be entered to win an e-reader and a $50 Panera gift card.
