Comprehensive K–12 learning environment solutions provider School Specialty recently launched its first-ever $50,000 School Makeover Sweepstakes, according to a news release. One grand-prize winner will receive a school makeover, while ten first-prize winners will get professional development packages worth up to $6,500. Eligible individuals can nominate their schools between April 15 and May 31, 2024.

The School Specialty Design Team will coordinate with the grand-prize winner to redesign their learning space of choice, including makerspaces, media centers, STEM labs, and more. The team will provide a modern, engaging space to meet the school’s specific needs and offer a refresh to students and faculty alike. The professional development packages provided to first-prize winners are fashioned by School Specialty subject matter experts.

School Specialty will also provide a $500 gift card to the nominee of the grand-prize school, as well as $250 gift cards to the nominees of first-prize winners.

“We’re honored to celebrate and support schools across the country, providing them with the opportunity to revitalize their environments and enhance learning outcomes for their students,” said Sue Ann Highland, national education strategist at School Specialty. “By investing in schools today, we are investing in the future of education and empowering students to reach their full potential.”
