Teachers have one of the hardest jobs in our country, in my opinion. Most of them work way longer hours than people realize, they don't make tons of money, and they put up with a lot of stuff from students and parents. You have to be a very special person to be a teacher. 

Norwegian Cruise Lines has come up with a fantastic way to honor teachers! The want to send some special teachers on a seven day cruise for two. Free vacation, heck yeah!

You can nominate an educator who demonstrates a passion for spreading the joy of learning. OR if you are one of those teachers, you can nominate yourself. All you do is tell the cruise lines about a special teacher you know, and they could win a free cruise.

The top 15 nominees will receive a free cruise for two, an exclusive invitation to an award ceremony on May 3 in Seattle which includes airfare and accommodations. They'll also have the chance to win the grand prize of $15,000 for their school.

Nominate a teacher you know here. Many of my closest friends are teachers, and I know how hard they work. Hook a teacher up with some serious joy! If they win, you may even get to go on that cruise with them!
