Many local teachers are already back at work preparing for a new school year. But a local paint and body shop wants to help one lucky teacher get the classroom supplies he or she needs.
Kendrick Paint & Body is giving teachers from all CSRA schools the chance to win a $100 Visa Gift Card simply by texting their name and school name to 706-724-4071. A valid teacher ID is required to win. The giveaway began Monday, and all entries must be received by Sunday, August 7 at 11:59 p.m.
The winner will be announced on social media on Monday. Other educators, such as paraprofessionals, are also eligible to participate, according to Carson McLaughlin, Kendrick’s operations and marketing specialist.
“We wanted a way to give back to a teacher,” McLaughlin said.
She said teachers often buy their own classroom supplies, and this is the first year the business has held a gift card giveaway. Last year, Kendrick gave away school supplies.
Founded in 1952, Kendrick Paint & Body, which provides collision repair services, has several locations throughout the CSRA, including Augusta, Evans, and Martinez.
