Indiana Pork is reinforcing its commitment to education and local communities by awarding 50 Indiana teachers with $100 gift cards, totaling $5,000 in support for classrooms across the state.
The initiative recognizes educators who go above and beyond to positively impact the lives of Hoosier students.
Teachers were nominated by community members, students, administrators, and fellow educators in recognition of their dedication, passion, and influence in the classroom.
“Teachers play a critical role in shaping the future of our state, and we see firsthand the commitment they bring to their students every day,” said Jeanette Merritt, Director of Communications for Indiana Pork. “These gift cards are a small way to say thank you and help offset the out-of-pocket costs many educators face when providing supplies and resources for their classrooms.”
Educators across Indiana often spend their own money to ensure students have what they need to succeed. By helping ease that financial burden, Indiana Pork hopes to show appreciation for teachers while supporting a positive and effective learning environment.
“Our teachers consistently step up for their students, often without recognition,” Merritt added. “Indiana Pork is proud to support educators who are making a lasting difference and preparing the next generation of Hoosiers.”
