Teachers, don't get mad at me for already posting about a back to school contest. I know you have just begun your summer break and need time to relax and not think about school things, but I just wanted to let you know that Energize Students will begin their Best Decorated Classroom Contest August 12th.
You will have a chance to win a $100 Staples gift card for your classroom, which is why I wanted to be sure you knew about it. When the time comes to start decorating your classroom, don't forget to enter it.
First place wins a $100 Staples gift card, 2nd place wins a $75 Staples gift card and 3rd place wins a $50 Staples gift card. Any of these gift cards would be a tremendous help in purchasing needed classroom supplies. Remember, school supplies get very cheap in the summer, so $50 goes a long way.
Their contest will run from August 12th through September 2nd, 2013. All you need to do to enter is submit a photo of your Back to School Year Decorated Classroom. Pretty easy!
To learn more of their contest, head over to the EnergizeStudents.org website. Good luck!
Thanks for putting this out there! I finally committed to a theme for decorating my room this year, so I've already been out to pick up a few things to get started. I just wish we were allowed into the building before August! Oh well. My classroom will be awesome even if it does have to wait. ;)
