My husband travels a lot with his job. It’s great in the summer because we are able to tag along from time to time and it gives us the chance to sneak in a little vacation without all of the added expenses. One thing that has really helped our family save money when we take our little trips is the rewards programs my husband has signed up for. You wouldn’t believe all of the places that offer you rewards when you fly with them, stay with them and so forth. One of our favorites is the Hilton HHonors loyalty program.
Since I have started helping out at the school (for those of you that missed it, I work in the cafeteria one day a week and in the office a couple of days a week. I sometimes fill in as an aide in classrooms and anywhere else they might need me). I enjoy being at the school and love being around the children and the teachers.
Teachers are special people, and that is why I’m excited about the Hilton HHonors Teacher Treks Travel Grant Competition!
30 Finalists have been chosen and from now through April 30, 2013, the public (that’s YOU) can vote for your favorite finalist. Just visit www.hhonors.com/TeacherTreks to put your two cents in and help determine the 15 winning entries!
The 15 winning teachers will be able to travel and experience first-hand the subject they teach, allowing them to enrich their curriculum and better inspire their students to explore the world. This program was developed by HHonors in partnership with the Institute of International Education (IIE). This program is also a part of the Hilton Worldwide’s Travel with a Purpose commitment to celebrating cultures and the power of travel to build stronger communities. Hilton is making a difference in the lives of many.
Teachers play an important rule in spreading understanding of other cultures and teaching children about the world around them. Some of these teachers may not have had the chance to travel the world themselves, but Hilton HHonors would like to change that by giving teachers a passport to see the world and bring their experiences back to the classroom to share with their students through Teacher Treks.
There will be a panel of judges which include K-12 teachers and other education experts who have narrowed the competition to the last 30 finalists. These finalist have mapped out their travel dreams and are patiently waiting for the results.
Prizes will be given as follows…
15 Winners will each receive a grant valued at $6,000 towards traveling to a destination of their choice. In addition to the trip, each winning teacher’s school will also receive a $2,500 grant to use for cultural activities or enhancements.
But that’s not all….
There will be 15 runners-up that will each receive a $2,500 grant for their school to use for cultural activities or enhancements!
ONE WINNER from all of the submissions will be awarded a cultural excursion for their CLASSROOM! The value of this is $1,500!!!!
What’s in it for YOU?
