The bookseller announced the start of its annual 2017 “Barnes & Noble My Favorite Teacher Contest,” an opportunity for area students to tell their community how much they appreciate their teachers.
Students can nominate their teacher by writing essays, poems or thank-you letters that share how their teacher has influenced their life and why they appreciate and admire them, according to a Barnes & Noble press release.
Grade 1-12 teachers are eligible for nomination and participating schools can submit entries to Barnes & Noble Redlands at Citrus Plaza for consideration. Entries are judged on the compelling nature of the teacher’s inspiring qualities, the sincerity of the student’s appreciation and the quality of expression and writing.
The local winning teacher will be recognized in spring 2017 at ceremony at Barnes & Noble Redlands, and will receive an award acknowledging their achievement.
The student who wrote the winning essay or poem will receive a certificate of recognition and will also be honored at the ceremony.
Awards for winning teachers, schools and students include cash prizes, NOOK® devices and more, the release states.
The 7th annual contest is broken down into local and regional winners, from which the “Barnes & Noble National Teacher of the Year” will be chosen.
