Del Monte Fruit Teacher Monday: Cash for Classrooms & Giveaway

Del Monte has a great contest going on right now:  Teacher Monday Cash For Classrooms.  This contest is designed to help support K-12 grade public school teachers across North and central America by giving them cash to purchase school supplies and fresh fruit.  I know many teachers use their own resources to purchase things needed for the classroom.  This would be a great gift to award our amazing teachers!  You can help your teachers out by letting them know about this contest.

To be eligible to win, teachers must register for the Teacher Monday Cash for Classrooms contest online at www.fruits.com.  Teachers win solely based off of votes so they need to get everyone possible to vote for them- parents, students, friends and family!  Ten winners have been selected each Monday since October 18th and there are still two Mondays left to enter.  Winning teachers will receive $750 in cash to purchase school supplies and $250 in Del Monte fresh fruit coupons for classroom snacks and to use in fruit educational activities.

"In an effort to support schools in less developed countries where many Del Monte products are grown, and where classrooms are also experiencing economic disadvantages, the “Teacher Monday: Cash for Classrooms” program will link winning U.S. classrooms with a school in Guatemala or Costa Rica. The 50 selected Central American schools will also receive $1,000 each for school supplies."

This is a great promotion I think all teacher's deserve to know about so let's give our teacher's the information need to know to enter and support them by getting our communities to vote for them.
