Thanks to OfficeMax,
Hamilton Kindergarten Teacher's Day Was Made Better

Alissa Graham, kindergarten teacher at Hamilton Elementary School was recently awarded classroom materials, a digital camera and new leather desk chair from Office Max.  Teachers all across the country received similar donations through the company’s “A Day Made Better” program.  The event is designed to bring awareness to the money that teachers spend on school supplies.

On October 6, 1,000 teachers across the country, including Graham, all selected by their principals were recognized through the campaign. 

The nationwide event included surprise in-class ceremonies where teacher recipients received more than $1,000 worth of supplies per teacher.  OfficeMax worked with Adopt-A-Classroom to identify schools and teachers across the United States.  Graham was nominated by Hamilton Elementary School Principal Rob Flanders.

Teachers spend on average $1,000 of their own money each year to offset school budget shortfalls and ensure their students have the necessary classroom resources for learning.
