In today’s day and age, teachers are much more than educators. They serve as mentors, counselors, cheerleaders, protectors, and they spend an average of $500 of their own money each year to purchase classroom supplies that benefit their students.
Starting July 21, customers can visit their local Walgreens stores to learn how to nominate a special teacher in their community for a WE Teachers Award. A minimum of 500 deserving educators will each receive $500 Walgreens gift cards to purchase classroom supplies – the average amount of a teacher’s annual out-of-pocket expenses. Teachers can also apply directly. To learn more about the WE Teachers Awards, visit Walgreens.com/metowe.
The WE Teachers Awards are part of a broader program called WE Teachers, which is in partnership with the ME to WE Foundation – an organization that provides products and services to support WE Charity. Together with Walgreens back to school supplier partners, Walgreens has committed to donating $5 million to the ME to WE Foundation –– to fund the development of the WE Teachers program.
