We all know that back to school sales are attracting children, their parents and teachers alike. Plus, if you are fortunate enough to live in a state like Illinois you may even get exempt from sales tax for 10 days in August! This email isn t about back to school sales though, it is about a company choosing to celebrate the ones behind education in classrooms around the country. Take a look at the details and be sure to pass it along to the teachers in your life . *Avery DENNISON CELEBRATES TEACHERS With A NATIONAL SWEEPSTAKES*** * * *Teacher Appreciation Sweepstakes is One of Several Ways Avery Dennison Office Products Supports U.S. Schools and Their Teachers* Avery Dennison Office Products Company Avery Dennison, a business unit of Avery Dennison Corporation, is launching a national sweepstakes to reward deserving teachers nationwide. The sweepstakes, which runs through September 15, 2010, was created to celebrate teachers and all they do for our nations children on a daily basis. Due to budget cuts and the current economic climate, many teachers and students across the country go without even the most basic school supplies. Studies by the non-profit organization, World Vision, show that teachers spend on average at least $500 of their own money each school year on supplies for their students. This sweepstakes aims to alleviate some of this financial burden, as well as pamper a few lucky teachers. Avery Dennison will be giving away a grand prize package valued at $1,000 to one teacher through the sweepstakes hosted at: www.avery.com/teachersweeps. Teachers are encouraged to submit as many entries as they would like up to one a day between now and September 15, 2010, and also will be eligible to win additional second and third place prizes. Prize packages include an array of Avery-brand school supply products, Spa Finder gift cards and/or Starbucks gift cards. Avery Dennison wants to show our appreciation for all the hard work that teachers do every single day, and what better way to say thank you than awarding prizes that can help organize, pamper and yes, even caffeinate them, said Jeff Deleon, director of marketing, Education, for Avery Dennison Office Products. One of our core beliefs is that education is the cornerstone of a strong community, so we support the teachers who nurture students and enable their success. Avery Dennison has a long-history of supporting education. This announcement comes on the heels of its parent, Avery Dennison Corporation, launching the *Give Back to Schools* program in late June. Created as a way to give back to the communities that have made the company s success possible in its 75th anniversary year, *Give Back to Schools* will provide 10 deserving U.S. schools with a truck-load of Avery-brand school supplies, valued at approximately $10,000 each.
