(READYVILLE TN) West Side Elementary School Teacher Chassity Burks in Readyville received the most votes in the Sonic "Classroom Supplies" giveaway. Burks received $281 for essential materials to create an engaging learning environment.
This is the twelfth year that Sonic Drive-In has awarded the give to educators. The 2020 year brought an all-time high of $1.3 million to fund public school teacher requests across the country as part of its annual Limeades for Learning Fall Voting Campaign.
"Celebrating public school teachers through our Fall Voting Campaign feels special every year, but especially this year, as our incredible public school teachers are going the extra mile to keep their students inspired, regardless of where their classroom may be," said Christi Woodworth, vice president for public relations for SONIC. "From cleaning supplies to humidifiers and technology needs, we were able to fulfill thousands of teachers' wish lists for necessary teaching materials to keep their students safe and learning."
From Monday, Sept. 28 through Sunday, Oct. 25, SONIC fans voted for teacher requests that moved them at Limeades for Learning, and the requests with the most votes nationwide received funding, totaling $1.3 million at the close of the campaign.
Again, congratulations to Chassity Burks at West Side Elementary School in Readyville, TN for their project "Let Them Listen".
