Speak Up: Who Are The Best Teachers in Town?

It's National Teacher Appreciation Day and we want to know who's doing it right in Capitola-Soquel.

You hear it over and over again: Teachers are the most fundamental yet most underpaid sector of society.

For a lot of kids, school is a chore. But with time comes perspective, and perspective lends itself to appreciating the underappreciated. Today, May 3, is National Teacher Appreciation Day – a day to recognize all the great educators we have in our community.

So we want to know who you, your kids, your friends, etc. appreciate the most from their time in school. Who are some of the stand-out teachers at Soquel High, New Brighton Middle School, Soquel Elementary School, Main Street Elementary, etc.?
