The National Teacher of the Year 2021 had a surprise guest of honour to help make her award even more special - Jill Biden.
The first lady, who works as a professor at a community college, made an unannounced drop into this year’s winner Juliana Urtubey classroom, who works at an elementary school in Las Vegas.
She greeted the winner with a large bouquet of flowers as an offer of congratulations.
Dr Biden has been touring the country, stopping in on various schools and colleges drumming up support for President Joe Biden’s American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan. It is particularly meaningful to her as she teaches at Northern Virginia Community College.
