A Special Message from PTA
The JSMS PTA would like to share this opportunity for you to recognize a JSMS teacher who has made a difference in your child's life! Please consider taking time to nominate a teacher for recognition!
The Tennessee Titans and American Paper & Twine Co. need your help!
We want to recognize outstanding teachers across the Tennessee Titans fan base; however, we won’t be able to choose the most deserving teachers without nominations from the parents, students and administrators at your school.
Each home game during the Titans regular season we will recognize one deserving teacher as the Teacher of the Week. That teacher will receive a gift basket filled with school supplies from American Paper & Twine Co., Georgia-Pacific and other affiliated vendors, a commemorative award recognizing the outstanding teacher, two tickets to a Titans home game and recognition during the game day radio broadcast on the Titans Radio Network.
At the end of the season, the Teacher of the Year will be selected by a panel of representatives from American Paper & Twine, Georgia-Pacific and the Tennessee Titans. The Teacher of the Year receives a deluxe gift basket of school supplies and a commemorative award recognizing the teacher as the Teacher of the Year, along with four tickets to the Titans – Broncos game December 11, 2016, hotel accommodations in or around Nashville, recognition on the video boards at Nissan Stadium at the game against the Broncos and recognition during the game day broadcast on the Titans Radio Network.
Please visit www.ShopAPT.com/content/teacher to nominate an outstanding teacher. We need your help to find the best teachers so please distribute this information to other parents, students and administrators to ensure that the most deserving teachers get a chance to be recognized by the Titans and American Paper and Twine.
Please email asowa@titans.nfl.com if you would like a digital copy of this letter emailed to you for distribution to other parents, students and administrators. Do not email nominations as they must go through the ShopAPT.com web site. Thank you for helping us recognize deserving teachers across the Tennessee Titans fan base.
Regards,
Ralph Ockenfels
