Know any outstanding teachers? The 2009 MetLife Foundation Ambassadors In Education program is seeking nominees. The award program recognizes educators who demonstrate a deep commitment to both their schools and their communities by:

· building partnerships with community organizations, parents, and guardians;

· resolving conflicts and promote safety in the school and the community; or

· promoting civic engagement and community service.

There will be awards in 25 cities across the country. Each awardee earns a $5,000 grant for his or her school.

The nomination form, selection criteria, and list of eligible public school districts can be obtained by visiting the NCL website or clicking here.

Anyone can nominate, but often they come from fellow educators, parents, students and community activists. It's a great program.

The deadline is February 18, 2009, but why not submit your nomination early? The program is supported by the MetLife Foundation and administered by the National Civic League. For further information, call Kristin Seavey at NCL at 303-571-4343 or email kristins@ncl.org.
