Rochester, New Hampshire, Teacher, Up for 'America's Favorite Teacher'
I was raised by two teachers so educators will always hold a special place in my heart. My mom was an Elementary School music teacher and my dad taught theater and TV Production at the high school I attended. Yes, I did take his class, and no he didn’t give me an ‘A’ just because I was his daughter. I kind of wish he did.
Teachers are often underpaid and underappreciated as they have one of the most difficult and important jobs out there. I absolutely love what the Readers Digest publication is doing to highlight the best and most beloved teachers in the country.
RD is letting communities cast their votes on who they think holds the title of America’s Favorite Teacher. Whoever gets the most votes will appear in Reader’s Digest Magazine, win a trip to Hawaii, and take home $25,000. How amazing is that?
One of our own is in the running! Heather Griffin is a second grade teacher at Chamberlain Street School in Rochester, and she has been there for 9 years. Miss Griffin has a passion for teaching and it is very clear that this is what she was put on this earth to do. She says
“My kids aren’t just students in a classroom, they’re family. I love them each wholeheartedly. We get to learn and have fun everyday.”
Heather is a quarter finalist for this award and with a few more votes she could be taking home the title and $25,000. How amazing would it be to see a teacher from our backyard win this?
Heather Griffin needs your vote and you only have a few days to do it, so vote here and share the link with your friends.
Best of luck, Heather! Even if you don’t win you are winner in our eyes and it is so unbelievable you got to this point. We’re so proud of you.

People who heard a helicopter crash rushed to the site to help remove the pilot from the burning aircraft in a wooded area in central New Hampshire, police said Sunday.
The pilot was the helicopter’s only occupant when it crashed into a residential property in Merrimack County, the New Hampshire State Police said in a news release. He was “conscious, breathing and alert” when authorities from various agencies arrived and transported him to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center with “serious but non life-threatening injuries,” police said. The pilot was not identified
The Hughes TH-55 helicopter went down Saturday afternoon about 30 miles northwest of the state capital, Concord, and caused a fire that was spreading to the woods before the arrival of firefighters, police said. An initial probe into the incident suggested that the pilot lost control of the helicopter near a landing site and subsequently crashed into the wood line of the property.
A National Transportation Safety Board spokesperson said the helicopter will be moved to an offsite facility for further examination as part of its investigation. The NTSB is leading the investigation along with the Federal Aviation Administration. New Hampshire State Police have asked anyone who witnessed the crash to contact the Danbury Police Department.
The two-seater TH-55 Osage was originally used by the military as a training helicopter, taking flight for the first time in 1956, but many of them have since found their way into civilian use.
