The Esquire IMAX Theatre congratulates Joan Juarez, 2007 Teacher of the Year

June 18th, 2007


To EVERYONE at Esquire’s IMAX Theatre,

I just wanted to write this letter to thank you for your part in giving my family and me the experience of Teacher of the Year. When I say family, that includes my students, their families, and the many people that I work with. All of this has been such an exciting experience for all of us. While they are proud of me, I know (or hope) that they take this as a reflection of all the hard work they do as well.

The night that you provided us was so much fun – the award ceremony, the viewing of Dinosaurs 3D, seeing us on television – it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you so much for the recognition that I received from you and your partnership with Channel 10 News and for the trip to your theatre that you offered my class.

In addition, I would like to commend you for the recognition that you give ALL educators and for your contribution to education. Whenever educators, and students, are publicized every single day through your partnership with Channel 10 News, it just shows how important education really is to the Esquire IMAX Theatre. Thank you so much for everything you do for education. I feel that, and hopefully, whenever a viewer watches a segment or commercial, they are reminded of how important it is to work for our children and to encourage them to succeed.


Thank you, thank you, thank you,


Joan Juarez
2007 Teacher of the Year
