Terminix Announces Winners of Teacher Giveaway

MEMPHIS, Tenn.- Terminix recently held a giveaway for teachers nationwide in partnership with WeAreTeachers.com. Ten deserving teachers each won $500 gift cards which they may use to purchase educational materials for their classrooms including bug books, insect displays, bug explorer kits, insect habitats and more.

Terminix recently re-launched its Harry’s Big Adventure program, a K-6 educational website and curriculum dedicated entirely to teaching students about the exciting world of insects. A key component of the program includes Terminix educating children through virtual classroom presentations, summer camps, educational clubs and more.

“Education has been impacted in nearly every way by the pandemic,” said Valerie Middleton, senior director of communications for Terminix. “We wanted to do something to reward teachers and the students they strive to educate every day.”

The giveaway had almost 10,000 entries and the ten winners are:

• Katie S. from Peters Township Middle School, McMurray, PA
• Lindsey G. from Ethel C. Bobcean Elementary School, Flat Rock, MI
• Thanh T. from Valle Vista Elementary School, San Jose, CA
• Shellie G. from Beauregard Elementary School, Opelika, AL
• Daniela R. from Mary Seat of Wisdom School, Park Ridge, IL
• Amy W. from Keiko Davidson Elementary School, Katy, TX
• Lynne Z. from Century High School, Santa Ana, CA
• Pam E. from Chicago, IL
• Gulay T. from Harmony School of Science, Sugarland, TX
• Leslie L. from W. W. Gordon Elementary School in Richmond, VA

Through its Harry’s Big Adventure educational program, Terminix aims to further educate students, teachers and parents about insects. The company hopes the program will spread the message that bugs aren’t inherently bad—they only become pests when they threaten homes and businesses. In addition, Terminix also offers special discounts on pest control services for teachers and parents.
