GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. May 3, 2017 – Meijer is honoring local teachers in its six-state footprint through its first-ever “Homeroom Heroes” contest. Now through May 13, parents are encouraged to nominate a teacher in their community and explain why the educator is a local hero. All active K-12 teachers throughout Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Wisconsin are eligible for entry.

One winner will be chosen in each of the six states. The winner’s school will receive more than $1,000 in free supplies. Meijer and participating brands, including Clorox, Crayola, Expo, Kleenex, Paper Mate, Scott, Sharpie and Viva, will donate various school supplies to be included in the prize packages. Meijer will also award a $100 gift card to the entrant that nominated each of the six winners.

“Teachers touch so many lives in so many ways. They are the unsung heroes of our communities,” said Nicole Laughlin, vice president of brand development and marketing for Meijer. “We’re proud to celebrate local educators across the Midwest by introducing the Meijer Homeroom Heroes Contest. We encourage everyone to nominate a deserving teacher!”
