Good Afternoon and Happy Thursday!
My name is Cody and I am the Sponsor Experience Manager for the Bismarck Larks. I wanted to send you some information on a program that we are doing to recognize teachers for their amazing efforts.
This program is called Kid’s Choice: Teacher Edition. We are looking for students from all around the state to tell us about their favorite teacher. Does your teacher play cool math games? Give you extra free time? Or how about helps you with your math problems? We want to hear about it.
The first 100 teachers that are nominated will receive (1) free ticket to Kid’s Choice: Teacher Edition night at the ballpark. From those 100 we will narrow the nominations down to 5. Each of those 5 teachers will receive:
An virtual or in person assembly recognizing said teacher
(2) Free tickets to Kid’s Choice Awards: Teacher Edition Night at the ballpark (Friday, June 11th)
On-field recognition during the game with the student who nominated them
A personalized Larks Jersey
Featured Story in the Larks Gameday program
One of those 5 will then become the Larks Teacher of the Year and will receive:
A $1,000 STEM technology grant for their school
A $250 gift card for school supplies
(1) FREE ticket to the Lignite Energy Council Teacher of the Year seminar
To nominate a teach your students can do one of the following:
ONLINE: Submit your nomination form on the Larks Website (Link below)
BY MAIL/EMAIL: Fill out attached submission form and send it back to me at this email address or by mailing/dropping off at Larks Front Office.
VIDEO: Create a video telling us what makes your teacher the best
(video submissions will have the chance to be featured on the Larks social media platforms)
Your students can learn more by visiting the Larks website link below. I have included a flyer complete with registration form. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
