would like to nominate Charles (Billy) Thompson at Evansville Christian School to win $100 in OfficeMax classroom supplies. According to my children he does many things to make his class interesting thus getting the kids interested in history. My daughter loves history now because he made it fun to learn and relevant.

He does everything in his power to deliver the best possible education for his students. He makes classes interactive. For example, when my daughter was studying the civil war, she and her friend made a brief play discussing the pros and cons of slavery and the war. They wore costumes that looked authentic to the time period.

He is very innovative to find ways to make the history info relevant to the kids today. Sometimes they compare things in the newspaper to things in history. You can tell he has a genuine passion for education and shares this enthusiasm in the classroom. Since he works at a Christian school, it is not supported by the government, and funds are tight. He could definitely use the OfficeMax Gift card for essential school supplies.

In order to inspire her students, she presents one with a “Student of the Week” award…out of her own pocket also.

The school doesn't have air conditioning, and it's pretty hot in her classroom – upstairs with no windows. She buys them bottled water and Otter pops to help cool it down, and brings in her own swamp coolers and fans to make it cooler.

She also coaches soccer there, and spent $60 of her own money to repaint the soccer field since the school ran out.

She stays on her own time, unpaid, after school to help students with her homework and do soccer coaching.

I know this card would help her out so much – even if just for ink for the printers. They only get so many copies a year, and have to pay for anything over their allowance.

Kristel Hansen works as a science teacher at a jr high in West Valley City, Utah. This year she isn't getting any help with science supplies, and not always lab supplies either. She buys those out of pocket.In order to inspire her students, she presents one with a "Student of the Week" award…out of her own pocket also.The school doesn't have air conditioning, and it's pretty hot in her classroom – upstairs with no windows.
