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.
