JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- This week First Coast News recognizes Kathleen Saunders from Duval Charter School at Arlington as our Teacher of the Week.

Nominate a Teacher

Teachers. Many of you know one and everyone has been inspired by one. Yet how often have you stopped and thanked the people we trust with our children?

Teachers do far more than instruct. They teach our children about life.

It's time we start recognizing Jacksonville's finest instructors. Every Wednesday, First Coast News' Erica Edwards will highlight a deserving teacher. We're looking for people who have made an impact on children's' lives, someone who has accomplished the extraordinary, or that special person who makes you say wow! And we need your help.
