Inspire Federal Credit Union and the Bucks County Intermediate Unit #22 announced their three finalists for the 2016 Bucks County Teacher of the Year Award this week.
“There aren’t too many people that can change the life of a student like an educator can,” said Jim Merrill, Inspire FCU’s President and CEO. “These three teachers, among many other teachers in this county, have successfully accepted the educational challenges inside a classroom, and their impact has extended far beyond the walls of a school.”
