Jiffy Lube believes that there is no cause more important than the
support of our educational system and the teachers who make it
work. That's the reason Jiffy Lube created and continues to support
the Teaching Excellence Awards.
Jiffy Lube's Teaching Excellence Awards are designed to award
teachers monetarily for their outstanding achievements in
education. We've allocated three $1,000 awards for teachers in the
WRAL-TV viewing area whose dedication to excellence in education is
judged most outstanding.
We're asking the general public to nominate teachers. Nomination
forms are available at participating Jiffy Lube locations.
Nominations should include the teacher's name, school's and address,
and description of the teacher's contribution to excellence in
education.
