Tammy Lawrence, a 5th grade teacher at Syracuse Arts Academy, can always make her students smile, she even make math fun. Quite the challenge indeed. Mrs Lawrence "has treated every student fairly by including everyone into everything. Whenever we did class activities, she would always look around the room and check to see if everyone was included. If you weren’t included in school activities, she would talk to you after the school day was over and she would take time out of her day to find ways to fix it." says Lila Wilson and Aiden Pullam, students of Mrs Lawrence. They go on to say:  "if you ever missed a school day she always grabbed all of the school work you missed and gave it to you personally. Then she explained what you missed during school." Mrs. Lawrence receives a special recognition award from Zions Bank, an overnight stay at the Anniversary Inn, dinner for two at the Roof Restaurant downtown, and two season passes to the Hale Center Theater. At the end of the year, one lucky teacher will win the lease of a new car provided by Burt Bros. Tire and Service. KSL NewsRadio and Zions Bank are proud to honor Utah's best teachers with the KSL Teacher Feature Awards! Since 1994, Teacher Feature has highlighted outstanding teachers throughout the State of Utah. Winning teachers are announced every Tuesday morning, September through June, on Utah's Morning News with Brian & Amanda.

They offer screen printed signed and dated prints, stationery, textiles as well as clothing and jewelry. They’ve also licensed work and collaborated with large brands such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Terrain, Anthropologie, Land of Nod and others to create exclusive products and designs. On today’s episode we’re talking about taking risks with new products and why it took them over 4 years to bring their textiles to market.  We also discuss why you need to follow your passions when making business decisions and why this Canadian company chooses to exhibit at US wholesale shows.

It was definitely the intention to work for ourselves and build the dream.” - Tammy Lawrence “As somebody that's so go, go, go, that [maternity leave] was a really nice time to focus on my family and also focus on building the businesses that I was trying to run because I wanted that to be my full time that I was working on.” - Katie Hunt   “You just make due in those beginning stages of being a mom and starting a business. It's kind of a deadly combo, but an amazing combo at the same time.” - Tammy Lawrence   “We want to try everything, and we want to make what we love.” - Sarah Edmonds   “It does take a long time to bring new things to market. I think it's very important for people listening to hear there are a multitude of challenges.” - Katie Hunt   “What we want to make, we just make it. Sometimes that's not the smartest business move but it's really being true to ourselves.” - Tammy Lawrence   “Paper pays the way for us to move into these other categories.” - Tammy Lawrence   “Ultimately, we're a business, we want to make money. We want to support our families.” - Sarah Edmonds   “To be creative, to be an artist, you have to be somewhat self-indulgent, and I can't always.” - Sarah Edmonds   “Being able to work with these companies is such a great opportunity to make things that we just don't have the resources to make.” - Tammy Lawrence   “If you're going to make a go of doing the trade shows, you have to commit to being there for more than one year.” - Sarah Edmonds   “Be weird. Stay weird. Follow your dreams.” - Sarah Edmonds   LINKS: Website: https://banquetworkshop.com/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/banquetworkshop Instagram: http://instagram.com/banquetworkshop Pinterest: https://pinterest.com/banquetworkshop Twitter: https://twitter.com/banquetworkshop JOIN THE TSBC FAMILY: Our signature Paper Camp program is back and we’re now enrolling for Winter 2018!   We’re talking about product development  sales tools, trade shows, marketing, working with buyers, sales reps and the press.  Attend live or online.  It’s the similar content, available in different formats.
