Yahoo Finance Staples Canada celebrates World Teachers Day by recognizing incredible educators across Canada with its We Love Teachers contest
RICHMOND HILL, ON, Oct. 5, 2023 /CNW/ - In celebration of World Teachers Day, Staples Canada has announced the winners of its We Love Teachers contest. According to a recent survey conducted by Angus Reid, nearly all teachers spend out of pocket for classroom supplies, with a spend that ranges from $300 to $500. To help fill that gap, the contest recognizes teachers with supplies from Staples and gift card from Reitmans or RW&CO.
"Teachers are the heart of education, and we know how much they do for their students," said David Boone, CEO, Staples Canada. "That's why We Love Teachers is so important to us, it's our way of giving back, acknowledging all they do and celebrating their efforts. As a true partner, we're here to support educators not just when they're setting up their classrooms, but throughout the year."
Throughout the month of August, parents, students and fellow educators across Canada were encouraged to nominate a teacher in their community that's making an impact. The contest winners include:
Tamar Kabassakalian, Laval, Quebec
Leticia Bonnie, Chilliwack, British Columbia
Joey Ozamiz, Ottawa, Ontario
Victoria Baillie, East Gwillimbury, Ontario
Jehn Miller, High River, Alberta
Elaine Leung, Calgary, Alberta
Amanda Scanga, Paris, Ontario
These winners will receive $1,000 Staples gift card for their classroom, $500 Reitmans or RW&CO gift card, and a $100 Staples Canada gift card for themselves. The We Love Teachers contest was launched in 2022 and, to date, 21 educators have been recognized for their contributions to classrooms and communities.
