Stroehmann Bread, Philly’s favorite bread brand since 1927, is taking the court as an official partner of the Philadelphia 76ers for a fifth consecutive season.
Stroehmann and the 76ers, along with star guard Tyrese Maxey, today launched the third annual King or Queen of the Classroom Contest, which aims to honor mentors who have been instrumental in educating students in the past year.
Through this meaningful contest, Maxey is teaming up with Stroehmann to champion education and literacy by encouraging students to nominate someone who has helped them achieve their academic goals within or outside of the classroom.
To enter, students in grades K-12 will have the opportunity to nominate a person who has been influential to their education this past year.
By submitting a short essay, students can explain why their nominee deserves this special recognition for how they have demonstrated their commitment to the student and helped them reach their educational goals.
Three winners chosen during the contest – and those who nominated them – will receive a 45-minute virtual meet and greet with Maxey, a 76ers gift bag with assorted team merchandise, and a No. 0 jersey signed by Maxey.
The winners will also receive tickets to a future 76ers game and a donation of $3,000 to be used for books at a school of their choice.
The entry form is open through March 16, 2023.
