Students are thanking their teachers in an annual banquet Saturday. This year there were 103 nominated teachers and 65 will be honored Saturday night. There will be a catered dinner and afterwards, students will say which teacher impacted their lives and why. The teacher will then come up and accept mugs with their names and the students' names. After the teachers accept the award, they can make comments about the students.
Students can recognize teachers from any period in their schooling.
