Fair Oaks Ranch Elementary second-grade teacher Denise Bakkar walked out of the Boerne Education Foundation’s “Rock On in Music City” gala Saturday $10,000 richer, being named the Boerne ISD Teacher of the Year.

Bakker’s hugs for everyone and the presentation of the oversized check from Vic Vaughn Toyota of Boerne were among highlights of the event, sponsored by the Boerne Education Foundation at the Kendall County Equestrian Center.

Historically, BEF fundraisers bring in around half a million dollars that goes directly to supporting Boerne ISD’s teachers, students, faculty and staff, with the “Rock On” gala as their biggest driver.
