More than 200 students from around the country already have entered the “A+ For Teachers at Downtown Disney” awards competition being hosted by the Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels in partnership with AirTran Airways and Walt Disney World®, and more are expected to participate before the competition ends on May 31, 2010.
The contest asks participants to nominate their favorite teacher, with winning educators and the students who nominate them each receiving a four-day, three-night vacation trip to one of the seven Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels. Entrants to date are praising their teachers for hard work, mentoring, a sense of humor, engaging lesson plans, dedication, patience, and sincere concern for their students. The essays relate tales of educators who stand out with their unique teaching and ability to connect with students.
Students wishing to nominate their teachers for consideration have until May 31 to write a brief essay and submit it via the Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels’ Web site at www.downtowndisneyhotels.com. Entrants also were solicited via Facebook through April 17. Ten national winners will be chosen, and both the participant and their favorite teacher nominee will win the prize package that includes:
- Four-day / three-night accommodations for up to four people at one of the Downtown Disney® Resort Area Hotels
- Free airfare to Orlando for up to four people on AirTran Airways (for residents outside of Florida)
- Four free Walt Disney World® one-day, one-park passes
- Complimentary breakfast at the hotel each day for up to four people
“Downtown Disney® Resort Area Hotels want to celebrate those teachers who truly make a difference in the lives of their students in spite of the many challenges their schools are facing,” said Kelly Knowlen, chairperson of the organization’s marketing committee. “We’re thrilled with the entries we have received to date in our nationwide contest, and we look forward to rewarding 10 lucky entrants.”
Contest winners will be announced on the hotels’ Web site and on its Facebook page
