Nanny to Mommy

This post is sponsored by Crayola in the form of complimentary products. All opinions are my own. These products were featured in our Back to School Guide.

My mom was a teacher when we were growing up. I remember watching her go back to school after she and my dad divorced. She worked so hard to become a teacher, a lot of late nights studying and creating lesson plans. She loved being a teacher so much. Educating our children is such an important and, often times, underappreciated profession.

Crayola has been our brand of choice for so many years. My mom and I would create lesson plans and activities using Crayola because they make high quality products with beautiful vibrant colors in every box. And they are the one and only crayon and marker brand I trust to actually be washable when the package says it is. This summer Crayola has started an amazing initiative. They have started the next phase of the “Thank a Teacher” campaign. They want kids around the country to show their appreciation for teachers and help reach one million thank-yous to teachers across the country!

Now through 8/25/18, kids and their families can enter Crayola’s Thank a Teacher contest by creating their own handmade thank you notes to their teachers and uploading them for a chance to win prizes for their family, teacher, and school.

Crayola will be awarding 10 finalists with prize packs:

- $10,000 classroom makeover for the teacher

- One year supply of Crayola products for the school

- $1,000 scholarship for the student

- $1,000 gift card for both the teacher and school

- Free CreatEd seminar for the school

The Grand Prize:

ONE lucky finalist will have his or her thank-you note featured on a special box of Crayola Crayons this holiday season. In addition to these prizes, there will also be a weekly sweepstakes that runs concurrently with the contest where each entrant has a chance to win $500 gift cards for themselves and their teachers. For official rules, visit www.Crayola.com/ThankATeacher.

We can help Crayola reach ONE MILLION thank-you notes for all those special teachers out there! Have your children enter so they can help Thank a Teacher with Crayola!
