PURPOSE AND SCOPE |
||
|
The Nebraska American Legion Teacher of the Year program serves to recognize dedicated and devoted individuals who, on a constant basis, give so much of themselves on behalf of the youth of Nebraska....Teachers. Just like veterans, teachers are the unsung heroes of this nation who build our nation's future by working with the youth of today. The Department Americanism Committee believes the Teacher of the Year program within the Nebraska American Legion will serve to strengthen the bond that exists between The American Legion, the schools of Nebraska and the administrators and educators of these schools. |
