One of our favorite community initiatives is back for the upcoming academic year – and we couldn’t be happier.
Ankin Law will once again team up with WGN-TV to give out the “Teacher of the Month Award” to deserving educators in the Chicagoland area.
This continues a multi-year partnership that we’ve had with Channel 9 to honor these outstanding teachers from a number of different levels– from Elementary to Junior High to High School and even trade school.
Attorney Howard Ankin along with others in our firm have been proud to present each winner with a check, which the teacher determining how the funds will be used. Each educator receives a profile from WGN Morning News anchor Lauren Jiggetts that will air on multiple shows and online.
