Recognizing a Louisiana Teacher for Outstanding Service to the Community

In honor of the late H. Norman Saurage III, third generation owner and Chairman of the Board for Community Coffee, Dream Teachers annually recognizes a Louisiana teacher for outstanding service.

The public school teacher awarded demonstrates not only outstanding educational and leadership skills, but has made significant contributions outside of the classroom to support students and communities.
