It's an honor that came with a custom Jazz jersey and $1,000 classroom grant.  Charla Andersen teaches 5th grade at Park Elementary in Spanish Fork. A 20-year veteran of the classroom, she said she absolutely loves her job.  'I get up and I love what I do, and the kids run to give you a hug, and you know you're making a difference,' she said.
