It’s time to 'Thank a Teacher!' This week, we’re heading to Everglades Elementary in West Palm Beach to surprise a second-grade educator who is clearly making a massive impact. When seven different families reach out to nominate one person, you know she’s doing something special. We are honoring Carrie Wertepny! She tells us her favorite part of the job is the deep connection she shares with her students and clearly, the feeling is mutual. Here is this week’s big surprise!
