After a challenging school year filled with hybrid learning and zoom lessons, the top teachers in the region got some much-deserved recognition from the Phillies, Constellation, and their fans.

On Monday, May 3, the top 10 Phillies All-Star Teachers from 2021, along with those from 2020 (as fans were not allowed at last year’s games), were honored at the Phillies game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

It was part of the 21^st annual Teacher Appreciation Night powered by Constellation, a leading competitive energy provider. The teachers were selected from hundreds of nominations sent to the Phillies by their current and former students, parents, and peers.

There were three Montgomery county teachers who took home a win:

• Kamira Boyd, Overlook Elementary School, Abington.
• Anthony Landy, Hatfield Elementary School, Hatfield.
• Jennifer Rieger, Upper Merion High School in King of Prussia.

Video highlights from a recent Phillies All-Star Teacher zoom call with manager Joe Girardi was shown on the big screen.

As part of the tribute, the Phillies All-Star Teachers were recognized prior to the start of the game both from the Rooftop of Ashburn Alley, as well as on PhanaVision.

In addition, the top teachers who received an Honorable Mention got the chance to dance with the Phillie Phanatic in the 7^th inning.
