Junkless honors teachers
The 2023-2024 school year may be drawing to a close, but teachers still need supplies to get them across the finish line. During Teacher Appreciation Week (May 6-10), granola bar brand Junkless and social impact platform Frontline Impact Project will help close the end-of-year supply gap by giving away more than 50,000 granola bars to celebrate teachers at eight school districts in the Northeast and Central US.
The celebration also includes ‘The Junkless Excellence in Teaching Award’. School districts are invited to nominate teachers to showcase how they contribute to our communities and classrooms. Eight teachers will be selected for their excellence and will receive a $500 gift certificate and a teacher spotlight shared via social media.
“Teaching is one of the most demanding, underpaid and underappreciated professions, so we at Junkless wanted to thank educators for their dedication, passion and hard work in a small way,” said Junkless president Brian Camus.
“Celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week allows us to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts that teachers put into educating and shaping the lives of our kids and students across the nation, so we are thrilled to be donating over 50,000 granola bars and recognizing eight special people with ‘Junkless Excellence in Teaching Awards.’”
Added Builders Network president Jessamyn Rodriguez, “Frontline Impact Project continues to be a powerful impact tool to support essential professionals – the everyday builders – who contribute to the wellbeing and vitality of our local communities.
“This Teacher Appreciation Week, we are excited to celebrate our teachers, who go above and beyond to educate our children. Frontline Impact’s partnership with Junkless is a great addition to their work in providing teachers with not only tokens of appreciation, but also recognition for the tireless roles they play in our communities.”
Educators in the Northeast and Central United States can submit a request for their school district to receive 7,000+ granola bars for staff and students to enjoy at an end of year celebration. Nominations are due by Friday, May 10.
