STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Year after year, teachers step up for their students by working overtime and dipping into their own savings to outfit their classrooms with back-to-school supplies. When remote learning took over this year, they had to lean in to their own resources even more to keep students motivated and engaged, upping their superhero status tenfold as an essential worker. And as families around the country prepare to go back to school this fall, whether virtual, in-person or a combination of both, one thing remains constant: teachers’ support for their students. This school year, Juicy Juice®, the iconic kids’ beverage brand, is recognizing teachers who navigated the new normal of schooling through the 100% Thankful Teacher Contest and rewarding them with more than $30,000 in prizing.
During the month of August, parents can nominate their kids’ teachers who consistently go above and beyond, especially when schooling went virtual. By visiting JuicyJuice.com/Thankful, parents can submit a brief nomination detailing how their kids’ teacher made a difference in their education. The top 20 entries will be shared online for the entire country to read, be inspired and vote for their favorite. The two winners who receive the most votes will each win a $10,000 grand prize to help them have the best school year yet. All finalists will win a custom prize pack of school year necessities, a supply of Juicy Juice 100% Juice and a Michaels‘ gift card to help ease supply woes.
To help parents and teachers prepare for a school year unlike any other, Juicy Juice is partnering with Lanesha Tabb of Education with an Apron, a K-2 educator with more than 14 years of classroom experience and two elementary students of her own. Through tips and advice found on Juicy Juice’s website, Lanesha will inspire and motivate parents through lessons, resources and relatable experiences as their little students return to school.
«This school year will certainly be an adjustment for parents,» says Tabb, «I’m proud to partner with Juicy Juice as they honor teachers around the country who are working tirelessly to adjust their lesson plans, classrooms and personal lives to make their students’ learning experience as seamless as possible this year.»
«Year after year, we see teachers go above and beyond to make sure students have a productive and engaging classroom experience,» said Ilene Bergenfeld, chief marketing officer at Harvest Hill Beverage Company. «Lanesha is the embodiment of giving 100% to her class, which makes her the ideal partner to help us spotlight teachers and act as a resource to parents during this back-to-school season, no matter what it may look like for them.»
