Now in its third year, Braman Motorcars presented the 2019 Teacher of the Year and School-Related Employee of the Year with a free two-year lease on a new BMW on Thursday, April 18. The Palm Beach County School District also presented the winners with a check for $1,500 during the festivities. Annette Blanco, secretary to the principal at Loxahatchee Groves Elementary School, received the prizes as employee of the year. Daniella Boyd, a math teacher at Royal Palm Beach High School, was honored as teacher of the year. Boyd shocked the crowd by deciding to pay it forward, giving the keys away to one of her fellow nominees. She drew Natricia Finegan-Forman’s name from a basket and made a difference in another teacher’s life by sharing her own success.
