The Detroit Lions Touchdown for Teachers program is designed to celebrate and support outstanding educators by providing them with Lions experiences and classroom grants to enhance their instruction while benefiting their students. This initiative aims to recognize the hard work and dedication of teachers who go above and beyond in their classrooms.

How It Works:

1. Nomination Process: Students, parents, school staff and community members can nominate a teacher who had made a significant impact on their lives or in the classroom.
2. Grant Selection: Nominations will be reviewed by a committee, and selected teachers will receive grants to fund innovative projects, resources, or activities that will enhance student learning.
3. Celebration of Teachers: Recipients will be recognized, showcasing their contributions and the positive effects they have on their students.
