We are excited to announce the winners of our first ever Teacher and Coach of the Month award! This award recognizes the outstanding contributions of one teacher and one coach who have gone above and beyond to support our students in their academic and athletic pursuits. It is part of our ongoing mission to level the playing field which includes celebrating and appreciating the educators and mentors who make a difference in our students' lives. And we couldn't think of a better place to start than the hometown of our founders, New Egypt. The award recipients each received a certificate, Ballers & Bookworms t-shirt, a commemorative mug, and a $50 gift card courtesy of All-Star Speedway Bagels and Charleston Coffee House in New Egypt, NJ. Without further ado, let us introduce you to our Teacher and Coach of the Month for October 2023.
