Here is the official release from the Panthers:
SUNRISE, Fla. – Sunrise Sports & Entertainment today announced three schools and education initiatives that will take place across South Florida throughout the 2011-12 NHL season.
The Florida Panthers will bring a “Healthy Habits” assembly show to multiple elementary schools across Broward County, while also supporting a Teacher of the Month initiative and a 3.0 Program for students who succeed in the classroom.

From November through March of 2012, one teacher will be awarded the honor each month with a surprise visit from Stanley C. Panther, a commemorative certificate and a set of tickets to a Panthers home game, where they will be recognized for their contribution to the community. Teachers can be nominated by visiting

The team has also launched the Florida Panthers 3.0 Program, an initiative to recognize students in the South Florida area for their academic achievements from December until the end of the school year in 2012.
