DAVENPORT, Iowa — A Davenport teacher is being recognized for his hard work in the classroom.
Carpetland USA is awarding October's Tools for Teachers winner, Chad Hilmer, with a $200 Visa gift card to use toward his classroom and students.
Hilmer teaches fourth grade at Washington Elementary School in Davenport.
He has been teaching for more than ten years.
The award was a surprise, so Hilmer is now deciding how to spend that money.
"I'll figure it out, I'll do something that good for the kids and makes school more fun, with everything going on in the world," Hilmer said.
Hilmer was nominated by a student, Wesley Heaton of Davenport.
This contest is supported by Carpetland USA.
