Nominate a teacher for a makeover!
Do you know a teacher who deserves a back-to-school wardrobe makeover? Jones New York In the Classroom has launched their 2008 Back to School, Back to Style! contest, allowing teachers the opportunity to win a new wardrobe and personal makeover, as well as classroom enhancements. The contest is open to teachers in Atlanta, Chicago, Tampa, the New York tri-state area, Portland, OR, St. Louis and San Francisco. The winning teachers from each of these cities will go back to school in style with a prize package that includes a Jones New York wardrobe and personal makeover, compliments of Macy’s, a selection of classroom materials from Scholastic and a donation to the classroom through the Adopt-A-Classroom program. To nominate a deserving teacher, visit Jones New York in the Classroom for official rules and entry. The nomination period closes on May 31, 2008, and honorees will be announced in July.
