(January 27, 2025…Phoenix, AZ) Congratulations to Burch & Cracchiolo's January Star Teacher, Michael Grant of ASU Prep Academy located at Central and Southern Avenues. Michael has been teaching for 14 years and has been at ASU Prep for almost 6 years.
He teaches STEM and physical education often combining his passion for science and sports. He loves to teach and illustrate problem solving skills by combining both disciplines. His unique approach and dedication make him an ultimate role model for both students and fellow educators. Coach Grant will put his $500 award toward sports equipment sized for younger kids who often can’t handle full sized basketballs and the like. Additionally, school principal Yvonne Huggard received a check for $250.
Michael is pictured here with his family, principal Yvonne Huggard and B&C attorney Shawn Mcabe who made the presentation of checks.
A Valley teacher is chosen each month to receive $500 through a nominating process on the firm’s website www.bcattorneys.com. Nominations are accepted from students, former students and parents who wish to honor and thank a teacher who has had a profound impact on their life. Many teachers spend their own money to augment the costs of classroom supplies, field trips and other non-covered costs that arise throughout the school year. B&C hopes to alleviate that burden for one deserving teacher each month. In addition, the school where the educator teaches receives a check for $250 to be used at their discretion.
Nominations are open to all teachers in K-12 who teach in Maricopa County. Winners will be notified and then presented a check at their school by a member of Burch & Cracchiolo. Photos and/or video will be taken to post on the firm website and social media. To nominate go to www.bcattorneys.com, click on the “Nominate a Star Teacher” button and tell us why you think your teacher deserves the B&C Star Teacher Award.
