ThredUP has launched a Special Site today! It’s all about teachers! thredUP.com has partnered with AdoptAClassroom.org to recognize and thank teachers for their hard work and the positive impact they make each day on our children’s lives.
I can think of a few teachers in my past that have really touched my life! I remember my 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Minton! She was so loving and that was a big year for me. I remember a few teachers from high school who also helped me stay focused on what was important in life. Likewise, my girls have had some rockstar teachers! Teachers often don’t get credit for all of their hard work. They are some of the most loving, kind hearted and patient individuals.
This morning, I nominated a favorite teacher, and you can do the same! Make sure you vote and get your nomination in through the end of August.
Teachers are extremely generous with their time as well as their money. According to AdoptAClassroom.org, teachers spend an average of $500 of their own money each year to equip their classrooms. 70% of teachers have even purchased apparel items like jackets, socks and shoes for their students.
Nominate thru August 23rd. Three teachers each will win $2,500 for classroom supplies and $500 to thredUP. 50 runner-up winners receive $100 to thredUP.

Winners will be announced on Tuesday, September 8 (following Labor Day weekend)
I nominated Jana Korenek from Mooneyham Elementary who is a friend of mine. Jana loves on her 1st grade class like they were her own! She is known for being willing to help all kiddos with their loose teeth. She is a single mom, who has a great balance on classroom prep and mom to two busy, athletic kiddos. Jana takes on extra responsibilities to help make sure things run smoothly. She is great at what she does and deserves to win a scholarship for her classroom.

They have many of my favorite kids brands, including GapKids, Janie and Jack, Lilly Pulitzer, Mini Boden, Zara Kids, Gymboree and more! Their prices are up to 90% off retail, so you don’t have to wait for the back-to-school sales to start to save a ton of money. And best of all they are a one-stop shop, with all of the top brands in one place at ThredUp or on the mobile app. Convenient, stress-free shopping!
