Nominations were being accepted on Friday for a back-to-school giveaway that will provide a Southern California teacher with a donation toward classroom supplies.<\/p>\n
Rooter Hero Plumbing & Air will accept nominations through Aug. 23 from teachers in its service area.<\/p>\n
One Southern California teacher is expected to be selected Aug. 24 and will receive a donation applied toward the teacher’s classroom wish list, according to the company. Rooter Hero did not specify the value of the donation.<\/p>\n
Nominations can be submitted through the company’s website and must include an explanation of why the teacher should be selected and a link to the teacher’s classroom wish list.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTeachers give so much to their students, often reaching into their own pockets to make sure their students have what they need in the classroom,\u201d Katherine Conchas, the company’s brand marketing manager and Hero Helps coordinator, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal was to recognize teachers in each of our service areas, showing them that their dedication does not go unseen or unappreciated.\u201d<\/p>\n
The giveaway is being supported in part by a donation from HomeGuru, a vendor that works with Rooter Hero, according to the company.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
