San Mateo, CA, June 11, 2014 … The 2015/2016 school year will be here soon. Imagine having $2,500 for your classroom. What would you buy?

All it takes is filling out the simple entry form at www.CalcasAcademicAward.com. The entry deadline for the next drawing is July 11.
The $2,500 Academic Award was created to give educator's wallets a break. Surveys show they shell out an average of $500 each year for school room supplies, with many spending much more.

Other past winners include:
- Holly, kindergarten teacher in Holland, Ohio
- Michelle, 5th grade teacher in Redwood City, California
- Elaine, high school teacher in Atwater, California
- Karen, 3rd grade teacher in Las Vegas, Nevada
"We are committed to educators," said California Casualty Sr. Vice President Mike McCormick. "This is another way we can say thanks for the hard work they do educating future generations."
