Many of the teachers who have taught my kids are also my neighbors and friends. I see how dedicated teachers are to inspiring our kids. So much of the resources a teacher uses to teach his/her class are purchased with their own money. Can you imagine working at McDonald’s and they ask you to buy your own spatula and cheese? I know what I’d tell them if they asked me that!

That is why, once again, I am joining the Max Moms for teachers program to help create awareness and give back to teachers. The Max Moms are working in collaboration with the national “A Day Made Better” cause founded by OfficeMax and nonprofit Adopt-A-Classroom to help erase teacher-funded classrooms. Annually in October, they host a national event that recognizes and rewards over 1000 teachers with a total of $1 million in school supplies to help alleviate the financial burden and thank them for their hard work.

Nominate A Teacher

There are deserving teachers everywhere and you are going to help me find them by nominating your favorite teacher to receive a $100 gift card for school supplies donated by OfficeMax. I will take nominations until Monday, October 11 at 11:00 am ET. A winner will be picked randomly and you will have 24 hours after you are notified to contact me or I will pick another winner.

Terms & Disclosure: No purchase necessary to be eligible for a chance to enter or win. The winner will be selected randomly through http://random.org. The gift card was provided by OfficeMax as part of its cause for teachers. The views written here are my opinion. I received no money for this post. I did receive a t-shirt, pens and 3 rubber band balls to help spread the word.
