Raise a Hand for Teachers

 Hey guys! Stopping by for a Thursday post to tell you about a new program thredUP.com is offering. In case you forgot, thredUp is pretty much my go-to clothing site these days - I just got four pairs of designer jeans (7 for all Mankind!) for under $100. And they have partnered with AdoptAClassroom.org to recognize and thank teachers for their hard work and the positive impact they make each day on children’s lives.

I know quite a few teachers, and I'm painfully aware of how much of their own money they spend on their classroom and their kids. According to AdoptAClassroom.org, teachers spend an average of $500 of their own money each year to equip their classrooms, and an astonishing 70% of teachers have even purchased apparel items like jackets, socks, and shoes for their students.

That's why thredUP is introducing this new program - they know how hard teachers work, and they want to help! Three teachers will win $2,500 for classroom supplies as well as $500 credit to thredUP. 50 runner-up winners will receive $100 credit to thredUP. 

Want to nominate someone? You have until August 23rd, and winners will be announced on Tuesday, September 8th. Once you've nominated your favorite teacher, you can vote daily. So get started today!
