With the help of the principal, Timothy Thomas, at Rogers Ranch School, The Husband & Wife Law Team surprised a wonderful and deserving recipient with their monthly Teacher Appreciation Award. Danielle Shafer was surprised in front of a large group of second and third graders. All the second and third graders welcomed Mark with a loud round of applause and showed a great deal of enthusiasm when answering all his questions. Mark expressed the importance of how much teachers do, but how few of them actually get the recognition they deserve. Mark and the students helped to give Danielle a powerful standing ovation as she came to the front of the room. Mark surprised Danielle with a check in the amount of $250.00, a plaque for her classroom, and a few more surprises! She was humbled and even more excited when she was told that she would be featured on The Husband and Wife billboards throughout the Valley for a day. But the surprises didn’t stop there. Not only was she awarded $250.00 and an appreciation plaque, but Mark also rewarded Danielle and all of the second and third graders with a pizza party!
