A favorite teacher can make an indelible impact on a student’s life. That’s why Barnes & Noble wants to celebrate educators with its My Favorite Teacher contest.
High school students in metro Atlanta, and across the nation, are invited to submit a letter about their favorite teacher in the contest throughout the month of February.
