Helen Beesley, a teacher of Windsor Elementary School, recently received funding to support her innovative and creative learning project, “No More Fake Reading!, according to a news release from SONIC Drive-In, based in Oklahoma City.
SONIC Drive-In concluded its annual Limeades for Learning Fall Voting campaign in support of public school teachers last month.
In partnership with nonprofit DonorsChoose.org, Beesley was awarded $496 for necessary supplies to inspire learning in the classroom.
Between Sept. 30, and Oct. 27, fans voted for projects they found the most inspiring at LimeadesforLearning.com, ranging from pencils and paper to tablets and robotics kits.
“Our Fall Voting Campaign is a special time for us to celebrate exceptional public school teachers who make a difference in communities across the country, including Helen Beesley,” said Christi Woodworth, vice president for public relations for SONIC, according to the release.
