Rewards of Honor is the brain child of Steve Faulkner a business man and advocate for educators. The mission of Rewards of Honor is to bring resources, recognition and honor in extraordinary ways to thank, reinvigorate and transform the lives of our educators who do so much for our children. Mr. Faulkner's goal is to be able to provide at least $10,000 dollars a year of goods and services to teachers. I'm lucky he has started the program in my city, but he wants it to take hold and spread nation wide.
By showing our school ID we can go into different local businesses everyday and receive for example, a free 8 inch pizza made to order, a plate nachos with any toppings, a snow cone of our choice, free drink and chips from a sandwich shop, a free cup of gourmet coffee, free salon services, a free oil change with no strings attached, When we first heard about this they only had two contributors and just since school has been out there are now twelve different contributors. What's even neater, it's not just for the teachers, it is for assistants, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, all district employees!
Here are just a few of the contributors.

What a great idea ~ it would certainly go a long way to making educators feel supported and encouraged! I'm hoping it catches in down in my part of Oklahoma!
