4 JULY 2017 ARCAD A NEWS By Arcadia News Staff Every June, the Arcadia News holds a luncheon to honor the previous school year winners from the Teachers We Love program. The program, which started in 2011, gives students and parents the opportunity to thank a local teacher who has made an impact on their lives and in the community. Nearly 50 teachers have been chosen over the past six school years. The end of the year luncheon is graciously hosted by Postino, and gives the teachers a chance to get to know their fellow winners. It also gives us the chance to thank them for everything that they do.
