Bannister is one of 12 finalists in the national awards in which communities vote for their favourite teacher. As of Wednesday morning she was sitting in fourth place with 4,788 votes. The three teachers with the most votes by Friday, June 28 win $2,500 for their school.

As of Wednesday, a teacher from Clark Rutherford Memorial school was leading the pack at 9,178 votes, a teacher from Lester B. Pearson High School had 7,126 and a teacher from Lakeview Elementary School was sitting in third place with 6,895 votes.
