Local businesses unite to honor outstanding teachers, students in Niceville area

NICEVILLE, Fla. — In a collaborative effort, local businesses have come together to celebrate and recognize outstanding teachers and students in the Niceville and Valparaiso area for their remarkable contributions to their schools and our community.

Starting Sunday, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the “Student and Teacher of the Month” program. Each week, we will shine a spotlight on an exceptional student or teacher of the month from a local school, acknowledging their noteworthy achievements.

We start the series tomorrow and then continue it each Monday through the end of the school year. Each school chooses its teacher and student of the month.

The schools taking part are:

• Bluewater Elementary School
• Collegiate High School at Northwest Florida State College
• Edge Elementary School
• Eglin Elementary School
• Lewis School
• Niceville High School
• Okaloosa Stemm Academy
• Plew Elementary School
• Rocky Bayou Christian School
• Ruckel Middle School
• St. Paul Christian School

What makes this initiative even more exciting is that our winners will be featured on Niceville.com and our Facebook page, NicevilleFLA, and each will also be rewarded with a fantastic assortment of gifts, certificates, and merchandise generously provided by our valued sponsors. This is our way of showing appreciation for these outstanding individuals’ dedication and hard work.

Here are the generous sponsors:

• The Wharf 850
• Black Rifle Coffee
• Eagles Nest
