As students across the country head back to the classroom, technology will be one of the most important school supplies for teachers. That’s why Kinetic is kicking off the 2021 school year by showing appreciation to teachers across the country with a chance to win a $1,000 classroom supply grant.

“We know teachers are the heartbeat of the classroom and often use their own money to bring supplies and resources to their students,” said Christy Drummond, director of local marketing for Kinetic. “We want to help students show their teachers how much they’re loved.”

Students have until September 30 to say why they think their teacher is particularly special. One teacher in each of the 18 states Kinetic serves will win a $1,000 grant to be used for school supplies for the selected teacher’s classroom dedicated to student education. Winners must be licensed teachers, actively teaching students who are residents of the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas. (Terms and conditions apply.)

Nominations can be made online or in any Kinetic retail location.

Businesses ranging from small shops to large enterprises can take advantage of the fiber-backed network to deploy solutions that make their companies more efficient and profitable such as OfficeSuite UC® and SD-WAN.
