Now Your Teacher Deserves To Win Teacher Of The Month (kekbfm): How Voting Works & How to Win

What the KEKB Teacher of the Month program is and who runs it

Your Teacher Deserves To Win Teacher Of The Month is a listener-vote honor run by KEKB, a Colorado radio station publishing at kekbfm.com. The program's ballot page is titled Vote Now: Your Teacher Deserves to Win Teacher of the Month, and the station publishes it on kekbfm.com directly, with no outside voting platform involved. The pitch to readers is personal: your teacher deserves to win Teacher of the Month and it is up to you to make sure they win, so vote now for December's Teacher of the Month.

The station's own description of the rhythm is the clearest fact about how the program works. As KEKB puts it, "Each month during the school year we select a teacher to be -- Teacher of the Month." That makes this a series of monthly ballots rather than a single yearly event, with December as the month the confirmed ballot page covers.

The ballot page sits inside a familiar local-news site structure. Its listed categories include Colorado News, Contests, Education and Western Slope News, which places the program alongside the station's other community features rather than in a standalone contest hub.

The dated record for the KEKB Teacher of the Month ballot

The program has a long confirmed run. Editions of the Teacher of the Month ballot are confirmed for 2021 through 2026, six consecutive years on kekbfm.com, and the monthly pattern points to the ballot appearing again in 2027.

The December round is the one with a printed deadline. Its page states, verbatim: "Voting ends on Thursday, January 7 at 11:59 p.m., so be sure to vote before then." The timing places the round's activity in December, the month whose Teacher of the Month the page names, with the count wrapping in early January.

Just as useful is knowing what the station leaves off the page. There is no standing open date for each monthly round, no published nomination window, and no printed per-supporter voting limit or eligibility rule anywhere on the ballot page; confirm on the live ballot each cycle. Because the program repeats monthly during the school year, each new round can carry its own dates, and the only reliable source for them is the ballot page KEKB posts for that month.

One caution about names: the station operates under the KEKB call sign at kekbfm.com, and the call sign plus the domain are the organizer identifiers worth using. Any broader corporate attribution is not settled, so rely on KEKB and kekbfm.com when describing who runs the program.

How a supporter votes for Teacher of the Month on kekbfm.com today

Voting works as a straightforward public poll hosted on kekbfm.com itself. To take part, a supporter opens the Vote Now: Your Teacher Deserves to Win Teacher of the Month page, reads the round's instructions, picks the teacher they want honored, and submits the vote before the stated cutoff. For the December round that cutoff was 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, January 7.

Nothing on the ballot page describes an account requirement, a login step or a verification gate, and the page's own framing treats the vote as something any listener can do immediately: vote now for December's Teacher of the Month. The vote page sits within the station's regular site navigation, under categories like Contests and Education, so reaching it is a matter of visiting the page directly or following the station's links.

Because KEKB selects a teacher each month during the school year, voting is a returning habit rather than a one-off. When one round closes, the next month's ballot replaces it on the same domain, and supporters who want their favored teacher honored across the whole year need to come back for every round. The station's page says plainly that it is up to supporters to make sure their teacher wins, which is the organizer's own way of saying that turnout decides the outcome.

How the KEKB teacher ballot sits beside Colorado's other vote programs

Colorado voters have plenty of public ballots to choose from, and the KEKB Teacher of the Month fills a niche none of the others touch. The state's large readers' choice surveys include Top of the Town from 5280, Best of Denver from Westword, Best of NOCO from NOCO Style, Best of the Springs, Best of the Boat from Steamboat, and the Summit County survey. Each of those is a broad multi-category survey run by a different publication with its own rulebook.

KEKB's program is different in three ways. First, it honors a single kind of nominee, a teacher, rather than spreading across dozens of business and service categories. Second, it repeats monthly during the school year, so a supporter has many chances a year instead of one annual window. Third, it is hosted on the radio station's own site, kekbfm.com, rather than on a dedicated contest platform.

For a reader comparing ballots, the practical consequence is that votes do not transfer. Supporting a teacher on the KEKB ballot does nothing for a favorite business in Best of Denver, and vice versa. Each program's deadlines, limits and eligibility rules live on its own pages, and the Colorado ballots above each publish their own.

Strengthening support for a teacher on the KEKB ballot

Because this ballot repeats monthly, the strongest campaigns are the ones that keep showing up. A teacher's supporters do best when families, students and colleagues are mobilized early in each round, well before the closing time, since the December page's own warning to vote before 11:59 p.m. on January 7 shows how easily a deadline passes unnoticed.

KEKB's ballot page prints no rule about outside help, paid support or automated voting, so the station's position on those has to be read from the live page each round. The one thing the page states outright is the organizer's own framing: it is up to the supporters to make sure their teacher wins.
