SUMTER, S.C. — Señorita Delores Tips at Bates Middle School in Sumter is this week's News19 Teacher of the Week. “This is like my dream job. I really love what I do. I really do,” says Señorita Tips.

This simple (and tasty!) strategy can help middle school principals get to know their students and create a welcoming school community.

FOX 11's Mark Leland caught up with four of the exceptional educators as they were surprised with the honor to start the day.
