One Senior Executive Director at Thirty-One Gifts showed her appreciation of teachers through her Thanks for Giving contest.

The winner was Cheryll Sonnenberg, a Pre-K teacher at First Christian Church Preschool in Clearwater, Mrs. Sonnenberg was nominated by Christy Davis, whose three children have had the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Sonnenberg as the school’s Preschool Director and K4 teacher. Davis describes Mrs. Sonnenberg as “a beautiful example of love, patience, and kindness” who “encourages positive behavior and bends over backwards to help both her students and their parents.”
A teacher of 38 years, Mrs. Sonnenberg excites children to learn and has fun doing it. She enjoys setting up the classroom so “children are invited to learn and be accepted unconditionally.” Mrs. Sonnenberg is thankful for winning the Thanks for Giving contest. Each day Mrs. Sonnenberg encourages children by greeting them with hugs in the car line. She has wanted to give her students something special and is now able to purchase totes for each of her student’s family cars.
