CFL Spring 2022

For this year’s Give Back Contest, we asked for nominations of Catholic school teachers across the country who exhibited a remarkable dedication to transforming the lives of their students. Their everyday acts can often go unnoticed, but the goal of this contest was to shine a light on these unsung heroes. Thank you to everyone that nominated a teacher for our Give Back Contest and the parents, families and friends who voted. More than 11,000 votes were cast for the 57 teachers that were nominated from around the country. CONGRATULATIONS to Our Give Back Contest Winners

Congratulations to the top three teachers (listed in alphabetical order by last name) based on the impact they made, comments shared during voting and number of votes: • Kim Flanagan: St. Michael’s Catholic School | Grand Forks, N.D. • Jill Jensen: All Saints Catholic School | Berlin, Wis. • Jennifer Ploeckelman: St. Mary Help of Christians | Colby, Wis. Thank you to all the Catholic school teachers who form our children into disciples of Jesus. We appreciate your continued ministry in Catholic education.
