Students could win prizes for writing about favorite teacher
Students could win prizes for themselves and their favorite teacher in a sweepstakes and essay contest sponsored by the Learning Express store.
The contests recognize Jeopardy! hosting its first-ever teachers’ tournament.
The “My Wonderful Teacher” essay contest will offer kids the chance to recognize their teacher. For three winning entries, the teacher will receive a Classroom Jeopardy! Set (a $499 value) and the child will receive a $200 shopping spree to Learning Express.
The second contest is the California Dreamin’ Sweepstakes, which offers the chance to win a trip for two to a live taping of Jeopardy!
The electronic system uses pre and self-programmed modules for classroom teams to learn in a fun and competitive way.
”I wish I had this when I was a teacher,” said Rick Grossman, owner of the Hillsborough store, “It would have been such a fantastic tool!”
In the essay contest, students should write a one-page essay describing what makes their teacher wonderful. Three winners will be selected by a panel of teachers. Entries will be accepted through June 30.
In the sweepstakes, enter for a chance to win a trip for two to a live taping of Jeopardy! in Los Angeles. Ballots are available at Learning Express or through their Facebook page. Entries will be accepted through Aug. 31.
In both cases, call Rick Grossman at the Learning Express at 908-431-7869 or drop in at the Hillsborough Promenade at 315 Route 206 North.
