Educators can be Thankful with California Casualty's $2,500 Academic Award
San Mateo, CA, November 25, 2016 … The joy of the season will be amplified for a lucky educator who receives the next $2,500 Academic Award from California Casualty.
The winner will be able to devote their money for holiday presents and goodies as California Casualty picks up the tab for classroom supplies in the New Year. The deadline to enter the final drawing of the year is December 2 at www.CalCasAcademicAward.com.
The $2,500 Academic Award was created in 2012 to give K-12 teachers, who often spend $500 to $1,000 of their own funds each year, a financial break buying schoolroom necessities.
California science teacher Eduardo N., who received the most recent award, is using it to buy much needed chemistry burners, probes and test tubes for his high school classes.
New Jersey's Tony M. is keeping students in shape with the exercise and workout equipment he was able to purchase for physical education classes at the middle school where he teaches.
Other past winners include:
- Tara B., 2nd grade teacher in California
- Jennifer C., 1st grade teacher in Oregon
- Marina S., talented and gifted support instructor in Pennsylvania
- Holly T., kindergarten teacher in Ohio
- Michelle R., 5th grade teacher in California
- Karen H., 3rd grade teacher in Nevada
- Elaine T., high school teacher in California
