Deer River teacher still in the running for America’s Favorite Teacher, hopes to make top 5
Rachel Warg is excited to have made it through the first three rounds of voting in the America’s Favorite Teacher competition. It’s put on by Colossal.
She’s an English teacher at Deer River High School. “It’s my first year here, and I love it. I love building relationships with the students,” she told us. “I consider this a calling.”
“Whether the literature was published last year or in the 1800s, I try and make it relevant to their lives and their communities,” she added.
The top prize includes a visit from Bill Nye the Science Guy, $25,000 and more. “Students and their families are really excited, and they’d love Bill Nye to come to Deer River,” Warg said.
This next round of voting narrows it down to the top 5. Voting in this round ends on Thursday at 9 p.m. CST.
