The Knightdale Chamber Of Commerce Teacher Excellence Award (TEA) was presented to Jennifer Eddins, at the April Business After Hours hosted by Alta Legacy Oaks Apartment Community.  Ms. Eddins is an English Teacher and Chair of the English Department at East Wake Academy and also writes a column for the online Eastern Wake News.  The TEA is presented monthly to honor a very deserving teacher in appreciation of love and dedication to the children of the Knightdale area.  In addition to a plaque, Ms. Eddins was awarded a $100 gift card.  Thank you to Alta Legacy Oaks for co-sponsoring the TEA along with the Knightdale Chamber of Commerce.
