Beloved math teacher receives All-Star Teacher surprise

Teacher Appreciation Night

25th annual Teacher Appreciation Night powered by Constellation Energy
The Phillies recognized educators in the region who are making a difference during the 25th annual Teacher Appreciation Night powered by Constellation Energy.
Each year, the Phillies select 10 area teachers, nominated by current and former students, parents and peers, to recognize as All-Star Teachers. The teachers were recognized prior to the Phillies vs. D-backs game on May 2. In addition to the recognition, each teacher received a $1,000 donation to their school.
