None of us would be where we are today without the educations we received. Teachers make the world go round!
According to the U.S. Department of Education, 94% of teachers reach into their own pockets to purchase supplies for their students. Of that 94%, NEA.org reports that the average amount spent is between $500 and $700 each year.
Blue Ridge Orthodontics supports the educators of our community and we’re giving back to help teachers prepare for the school year – without needing to pull out their own credit cards. We’ll pick four pre-k through high school educators from Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, and Transylvania counties. Each teacher selected will receive a $500 Amazon gift card. We’ll announce the winning teachers on August 1st.
In addition, we’ll draw a name from everyone who votes and one participant will receive a $50 Amazon gift card to say thanks for helping us support local educators.
