FAIRFIELD, Conn. Fairfield teacher and Stamford resident Kristin Golia will appear on Live! With Kelly on Friday morning. The Osborn Hill Elementary School teacher is one of five finalists in the shows Top Teacher 2012 contest. The show airs on WABC-TV starting at 9 a.m.
Golia, a third-grade teacher at Osborn Hill, was nominated by Jessica Gerber, mother of two of her former students. Gerbers son, Teddy, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer shortly after starting the third-grade. With Golias help, Teddy managed to pass the grade despite missing 100 days of school. He died shortly before he was to start fourth-grade.
Live! With Kelly will first show a segment filmed at Osborn Hill, and then Golia will chat with Kelly Ripa and her guest host, NFL star Reggie Bush.
When the show ends at 10 a.m., voting will begin at the shows website. Voting lasts through the following weekend. The contest winner will be announced on May 22. The winning teacher will receive a 2013 Ford Fusion and a $25,000 donation to the teacher's school.
