The AutoZone Liberty Bowl and the College Football Playoff (CFP) Foundation kicked off Extra Yard for Teachers Week with The Big Day For Teachers and a special surprise presentation to Sheffield High School teacher Stephanie Claybourne. The Big Day For Teachers is a nationwide day of celebration and recognition of teachers. The AutoZone Liberty Bowl presented Claybourne with a $1,000 DonorsChoose gift card to be used for classroom or student resources and projects that help keep kids learning.
Claybourne has been a teacher for 10 years. This is her sixth year teaching at Sheffield High School, where she teaches Spanish. Claybourne is a graduate of the University of Memphis.
“The Big Day For Teachers and Extra Yard for Teachers Week is all about supporting and celebrating teachers in our community,” said Harold Graeter, Associate Executive Director of the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. “We’re proud to partner with the College Football Playoff Foundation in recognizing Stephanie Claybourne for her many years as an educator, her service to Sheffield High School and most importantly, for making a positive difference in the lives of her students. The DonorsChoose gift card will provide her with much needed resources so she can continue to have a positive impact on her students.”
Extra Yard for Teachers Week continues through September 21st, as college football goes the extra yard to honor and recognize great teachers.
