Barnes & Noble favorite teacher contest accepting entries

Posted

Several years ago, Barnes & Noble in Rhode Island created the My Favorite Teacher Contest, a program to provide students an opportunity to voice their appreciation and recognize a teacher who has had positive impact on them - either personally or academically.

The Barnes & Noble My Favorite Teacher Contest provides students with the opportunity to tell the community how much their teachers are appreciated.

From now to March 1, middle school and high school students may submit their nominations. Students fill out the entry form – and write an essay, poem, or thank-you letter (500 words or less, in English on 8.5" x 11" white paper) sharing how a teacher has influenced their life and why they appreciate and admire them.

Submissions are due to Katie Rendine, Community Business Development Manager at Barnes & Noble in Warwick at 1350B Bald Hill Rd. Warwick, RI 02886. Entry forms can be obtained at Barnes & Warwick, emailing crm2159@bn.com, or visit www.bn.com/myfavoriteteacher to download an entry form.

A panel of judges will read the submissions and rate each submission based on three different criteria.  One winning teacher and student is chosen, along with two runners up.  Barnes & Noble of Warwick will host a recognition ceremony in April honoring the winners. 

The winner is then entered into the regional contest and the five regional winning teachers will each receive a $500 Barnes & Noble Gift Card. The winner of the national "Barnes & Noble Teacher of the Year" award will receive $5,000 and the winning teacher's school will receive $5,000 as well. For additional information, contact crm2159@bn.com.
