November Teacher of the Month: Alejandra Padilla
The November 2024 Pepsi Teacher of the Month is Alejandra Padilla of Jackson Middle School
Alejandra Padilla is the Pepsi/APS Education Foundation’s Teacher of the Month for November. For the past 14 years, Pepsi and the APS Education Foundation have partnered to recognize a few of the district’s outstanding teachers for their contributions to the classroom, school, and community.
The Foundation randomly selects one APS school each month, and that school’s principal or staff chooses a teacher to be honored. The teacher receives a $100 check from Pepsi and acknowledgment on the APS website, Facebook page, and electronic billboards. In their second year, Dion's is recognizing teachers by donating a gift card.
They receive a small token of appreciation but represent the many outstanding teachers in Albuquerque Public Schools.
