Surprise Assembly Honors Brandi Felix, Gus Birdwell Elementary Teacher, with February 2026 Teachers on the Rise Award
Teachers and students at Gus Birdwell Elementary gathered for a surprise assembly to celebrate one of their own being named a recipient of the February 2026 Teachers on the Rise Award. Faculty, students, and administrators were all in attendance for the special recognition.
Teachers on the Rise is a monthly teacher recognition program that honors outstanding educators across the Amarillo and Lubbock areas. Teachers are nominated by students or parents, and each month, three winners are selected—one from an elementary school, one from a middle school, and one from a high school.
Winning teachers receive a prize package valued at over $300, while the student who submits the winning nomination receives a $50 gift card in appreciation
The Baker Family nominated Mrs. Felix:
Allie: “Mrs. Felix makes me feel happy and she feels like home. Mrs. Felix has taught me that it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks. It doesn’t mean I have to change me. She is the best teacher ever!”
Kassidy: “This is Allie’s first year in Spearman, and I was so worried about how the move would affect her. From the very first day of school, she has absolutely thrived. She is a completely different kid; happier and more confident than I have ever seen her. She talks about Mrs. Felix constantly and is genuinely excited about going to school every single morning. Allie has always been the kind of kid who stays more in the shadows. She’s a good student, but at times I’ve felt like she was overlooked. With Mrs. Felix, it’s different. I truly feel like Allie is seen and accepted for who she is. She is growing, excelling, and stepping out of her comfort zone. She has made real friends and even tried things I never imagined she would, like competing for UIL Storytelling. I wholeheartedly believe that Mrs. Felix is the biggest reason for Allie’s success. She is exceptional at communicating with me as a parent, and she always shares the kindest words about my girl. Even as a busy mom herself, she still finds time to be involved after hours with Spearman ISD, participating in events and serving on committees. As a parent, I am incredibly grateful for her. She has made what I know will be a lasting impact on Allie. I fully believe she cares for all of her students the same way. I want her to know that her love, dedication, and actions do not go unnoticed, and that she is the most deserving of this acknowledgement. We love you, Mrs. Felix.
