commander of the classroom, the teacher.

According to recent
research1
, teachers reach into their own pockets to
spend, on average, $490 of their own money to get their classroom ready
and to make sure their students have everything they need.

calling on its customers to nominate their favorite teacher for a chance
to be elected as one of Walmart’s Commanders in Teach(ers). A number of
teachers will then be selected to receive a $490 Walmart Gift Card and
free school supplies courtesy of Walmart. To nominate a teacher, visit
