The last day to nominate an Oakman teacher is this Friday, April 12th. We have the forms outside the office. You only need to write 250 words or less about why your child’s teacher makes learning fun at Oakman School. You can leave completed forms in Mrs. Dakroub’s mailbox.
Click on the link above to print the application to nominate your child’s teacher. Please print clearly and put your heart into your nomination. Oakman teachers deserve it! You can leave the nomination in my mailbox in the office and I will mail them to the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce by April 12th.

Nominate Your Favorite Teacher Today!
It is now easier than ever to nominate your favorite Dearborn Public Schools teacher to be selected as the 2012-13 Alberta Muirhead Teacher of the Year. The new on-line entry form can be found by visiting https://dearbornschools.org/toy . Forms can also be downloaded at the same website or can be picked up at any Dearborn public school and the district’s Administration Office, 18700 Audette.
The deadline for submitting nominations, either on-line or hard-copy, is Friday, April 12, 2013. Hard-copy nomination forms can be mailed to the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce, 22100 Michigan Avenue, Dearborn, MI 48124, or fax to (313) 584-9818. Adults may assist students when necessary but no more than two teachers can be nominated per student.
Students can nominate new or veteran teachers whom they feel have made outstanding contributions to the teaching profession. Preschool through fifth-grade students are asked to describe how their teacher has created a classroom where learning is positive and fun. Middle school students (grades 6-8) will need to explain how their teacher connects classroom learning with everyday life. Students in high school must describe how their teacher is preparing them to be successful beyond high school. Applications will be assessed on quality of the nomination, not on the number received. Award judges are members of the Dearborn Chamber Education Committee and are not provided with the teachers’ names.
One winner from elementary, middle and high school will be announced at a special ceremony, Wednesday, May 15, 2013, at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center. The Alberta Muirhead Teacher of the Year Award is sponsored by the Dearborn Chamber of Commerce.
