Happy Teacher Appreciation Week 2019! To celebrate, visit Scholastic Book Clubs on Facebook and Instagram for your chance to win the “Thank You, Teachers!” Sweepstakes.
Just like Patricia Polacco expresses her appreciation for her teacher in this week’s Dollar Deal, Thank You, Mr. Falker, we are super excited to celebrate the great work teachers everywhere do every day with this special sweepstakes.
To enter, people can simply tag a teacher. Fifty winners on Facebook and 50 winners on Instagram will each receive a Scholastic Book Clubs–exclusive tote bag featuring a favorite quote from Thank You, Mr. Falker filled with three classroom-favorite titles by Patricia Polacco:
• Thank You, Mr. Falker
• The Junkyard Wonders
• An A from Miss Keller
And, of course, our team didn’t want to pass up this opportunity to thank our own incredible teachers for everything they’ve done for us. Here are our shout-outs in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week:
|
“Thank you, Mr. Cundari, for teaching an unforgettable music class—I still absentmindedly hum some of the songs we learned in high school when I’m in the car!” —Alana Pedalino, Blog Manager
“Thank you, Mr. Helming, for helping me find the humor in social studies. You taught us that history doesn’t just rhyme, it has a punch line too!” —Patrick Clark, Digital Video Editor
“Thank you, Señora Silva, for introducing me to the Spanish language. The songs we learned and games we played in first grade laid the foundation for me to see learning a second language as fun and exciting, rather than challenging or stressful. You planted the seed for me to continue taking Spanish classes through high school, college, and beyond. ¡Muchísimas gracias!” —Kristen Palasick, Social Media Manager
“Thank you, Mrs. LoPuzzo, for showing me how to be unconditionally kind and empathetic toward others. You made a connection with each and every one of your students, and even at six years old, that made an impact on me to this day.” —Rae Gonzalez, Creative Assistant
“Thank you, Mr. Price, for showing me how much fun writing can be and encouraging me. I can’t imagine what my life would’ve been like without your fourth grade class!” —Alexie Basil, Copywriter
“Thank you, Mr. Rubio! You brought fun to music and joy to learning. You made me passionate about playing the clarinet (an impossible task). You’re an outstanding person!” —Amber Suarez, Assistant
“Thank you, Mrs. Scala, for teaching me math in the manner you did. It gave me the confidence to instill the love of math to my students when I began my teaching career.” —Stella Dourvetakis Castilla, Assistant Director
“I had a few amazing teachers throughout my life, but I’d have to say that my favorite is my seventh grade teacher, Mr. McCauley. He made me fall in love with math and excel at sports (he was also our basketball and volleyball coach), and he was always so supportive. He went above and beyond, and I will forever be grateful to him.” —Traci Swain, Creative Producer & Manager
