Great teachers deserve a huge round of applause, and this year’s 9Teachers Who Care got it during the annual 9Teachers Who Care award ceremony on Thursday June 8th. Nine of Colorado's most caring teachers were honored for their work in the classroom during a special dinner at the 9NEWS Studios. These teachers go above and beyond the call of duty educating their students in music, U.S. government, math, science, theatre, reading, and even sewing!
