Teacher’s Appreciation Day Contest from Lands’ End [One Book Two Book]

Translate Into:

lands end logo Teachers play such an important role in encouraging reading among children, so I thought it would be appropriate to write about a contest Lands’ End is hosting called the Teachers Light the Way Awards.

From now until April 17, 2008, you can nominate a teacher who has made a difference in the life of a student, school or community.  The person nominated must be currently employed as a teacher.

To nominate a teacher, just visit the Lands’ End Teachers Award site and submit an essay up to 500 words describing how the teacher you’re nominating is a “bright light in education.”

Lands’ End will award 45 teachers with the new Lands End Teachers Light the Way Award.  The winning teachers and their schools will receive prizes including:

  • First Grand Prize: $5,000 teacher award, $5,000 school award
  • Second Grand Prize: $3,000 teacher award, $3,000 school award
  • Third Grand Prize: $2,000 teacher award, $2,000 school award
  • Nominators of the Grand Prize Winners: $250 Lands End gift card
  • Honorable Mention Prize Winners: $100 Lands End gift card
  • Nominators of Honorable Mention Winners: $25 Lands End gift card

The winners will be announced on May 5, 2008 on the Lands’ End Teachers Award website.

Sounds like a great promotion and an excellent way to recognize a teacher in your community!
