A management company based in Elkhorn, NE., is hosting a series of events at 12 of their McDonald’s locations in Nebraska and Iowa, through August 12th, as a way to say “Thank You” to teachers for all they do. Marla Snyder, the Marketing Director for Leonard Management tells KJAN News the idea to give teachers a free “Classroom Kit,” was the brainchild of company founder, Steve Leonard.

After Steve brought Marla the idea, she took it to the next stage. That includes assembling the kits for teachers as they get ready to start their school year.

(Each kit contains pencils, dry erase markers, Post-It Notes, paper, hand sanitizer, tissue, permanent markers and other items.)

Those items are all contained in a reusable plastic bag. Leonard Management staff will be on-hand at the Atlantic McDonald’s store (1510 E. 7th St.) from 1-until 4-p.m. Monday, August 3rd, to provide teachers with a free Classroom Kit filled with school supplies. Across the 12 McDonald’s restaurants the company owns, they’re donating a total of $20,000 to provide classroom supplies.

Marla Snyder says teachers can still sign up for the giveaway, but space is limited.

( To claim your Classroom kit, you’ll need a current badge or proof of school/teacher certificate, when checking-in.)
