Teacher Of The Month- August 2025

🍎 August Teacher of the Month Highlights

Kicking off the school year by expanding and celebrating!

We’re thrilled to begin the school year by not only recognizing outstanding teachers but also expanding our Teacher of the Month Program to include two more schools: Maysville Elementary and Ila Elementary! At The Hardigree Team, supporting education is part of our mission — and this August marks a meaningful step forward in celebrating the educators who make a difference.

Each month, we team up with a local business to gift a special thank-you to one teacher from each participating school. This month’s sponsor? A local favorite in downtown Commerce!

🌮 Local Business Spotlight: Taqueria Mi Pueblo

This month, we partnered with Taqueria Mi Pueblo, serving up authentic Mexican-style tacos, burritos, and tortasthat are sure to satisfy. Whether you’re new in town or a lifelong local, this hidden gem offers a flavor-packed experience you don’t want to miss.

📍 Find them at 788 South Broad Street, Commerce, GA 30529 — perfect for lunch, dinner, or celebrating a special occasion with your favorite educators!
