With almost 2,300 votes so far, the action has been brisk but we're in the home stretch. Time is running out to vote for the Magic Valley Teacher of the Year! At last check Jerome High School's Scott Burton had taken the lead, but Wendell Middle School's Travis Robison and Filer Intermediate's Kent Snow were hot on his heels. Voting deadline is May 28th, 2013 at midnight.

The nominations are in! It was quite a task to narrow all of them down to just ten educators... but here they are: your Top 10 Magic Valley Teachers! Vote for the teacher you think deserves to win.

Not even gunfire can stop Barney. A kindergarten teacher in Monterrey, Mexico named Martha Rivera Alanis has become a hero after she sang the purple dinosaur's 'If All the Raindrops' while a gang shootout took place outside.
