Two Rosemount Educators Up for Let's Dish Teacher of the Year Award

Two Rosemount teachers have been nominated for the Let's Dish Teacher of the Year award.

You can vote for your favorite teacher through April 30 by selecting "Apple Valley" on the drop-down menu at the Let's Dish website.

Gina Stangl, Rosemount Elementary, Rosemount, 2nd Grade

Gina is a dedicated teacher who cares deeply about her students, knows them well, differentiates their instructions, disciplines them, yet is so warm with them at the same time. She is extremely positive and has a sense of humor and is fun to be around every day!

Steven Albaugh, Rosemount High School, Rosemount, Choir

Mr. Albaugh is not only a choir teacher, he helps his students reach their full potential and teaches responsibility for themselves and respect for others. He puts on a sell-out show on stage each year and does all of the choreography and song selections. He is highly involved in each of his student’s lives and is loved by all students and parents. He truly is involved and strives to help his students have high self- esteem and be successful.

The Let’s Dish program allows parents to nominate a deserving teacher. Then, residents vote for their favorite teacher online. In 2012, according to Let’s Dish, 260 teachers were nominated and 14,000 people voted. Let's Dish has six locations in Minnesota—including one in Apple Valley—where customers can come and prepare meals to freeze and eat at home.

A winning teacher will be selected for each of Let's Dish's Minnesota locations. You can vote now on the Let's Dish website. Winners will be announced in early May.

The top vote-getters will receive eight meal sessions at Let’s Dish.
