Nominate Your Classroom Hero for our Fall 2021 Contest!

The fall 2021 contest marks the third semester of the Landers Auto Group presenting the Classroom Heroes Award to dedicated teachers around Arkansas. Though the award began in the middle of the pandemic in recognition of the extra hoops educators were having to jump through to teach their students virtually and in the classroom, it continues to appreciate Arkansas teachers that go above and beyond to be the best teachers they can be. 

The Landers Auto Group partnered with KARK 4 / Fox 16 to help select from each month’s nomination list to choose that month’s hero. Each monthly hero, after being announced at the beginning of the following month, earns $500 and a gift bag to share with their school. Once each month – September, October, and November – has its hero, December is when the voting is opened to the public to choose the Semester Hero. On top of their monthly win, the Semester Hero will be our grand prize winner and share $2,500 with their school. Our Semester Hero will also be given a trophy to keep in their classroom, a symbol of all the work they do. 

So from the Landers team and community partners to Arkansas teachers, thank you for supporting the students in and outside of your classroom.
