Stride Partners with Hallmark to #TeachLuv

Ed Tech Leader and Nation’s Largest Greeting Card Maker Will Reach 25,000+ Families

To honor the herculean efforts of the nation’s teachers, Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN) is partnering with Hallmark Cards, Inc. for a special Teacher Appreciation Week initiative.

Beginning this month and continuing throughout the year, Stride is championing various teacher-led achievements, activities, and programs nationwide. The company is launching a new online resource hub for its estimated 6 million unique annual website visitors. Additionally, Hallmark is providing 25,000 digital video greeting cards from its new product offering at no cost to students or their families to send messages of thanks to their favorite educators.

“There’s no doubt that the coronavirus pandemic has profoundly changed how we work, interact, and travel. It’s also transformed the role of education in every community and household,” says James Rhyu, Chief Executive Officer of Stride, Inc. “As we rebuild in the months and years ahead, teachers—the often-unsung heroes of our communities—will be central to making a vision for a stronger tomorrow, a reality. With Hallmark’s help, we’re proud to recognize their tremendous efforts.”

Stride’s new Teacher Appreciation initiative comes as many educators and school leaders across the country face a myriad of challenges, including but not limited to: sudden transitions to full-time online learning with minimal support and resources; demands to return to in-person teaching without appropriate COVID-19 precautions; and contentious politically charged debates that target schools and educators.

“Hallmark is always striving to share new innovative ways of connecting with those who uplift, support, and inspire. We’re proud to partner with Stride in this effort when it comes to celebrating the millions of educators across the U.S.,” says Kristy Lewis, Hallmark’s vice president of marketing and consumer experience. “We’re thrilled to play a role in helping students create one-of-a-kind moments for teachers that last a lifetime.”

As part of their personalized and holistic approach to education, Stride K12-powered schools provide wraparound support services for families to help address the challenges that impact students’ ability to perform well in the classroom. Every student has access to a rich curriculum taught by state-credentialed teachers, from the safety of home or from anywhere with an Internet connection.
