Stroehmann Bread, Philly’s favorite bread brand since 1927, is taking the court with the Philadelphia 76ers for a sixth consecutive season. Stroehmann and the 76ers, along with beloved mascot Franklin the Dog, launched the fourth annual King or Queen of the Classroom Contest, which aims to champion education and honor mentors who have been instrumental to educating students the past year.
To support this year’s contest, Stroehmann is teaming up with Franklin the Dog to help bring the energy and encourage students to nominate an educator who has had a significant impact on their academic achievements, inside or outside 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 76ers gift bag with assorted team merchandise and an autographed 76ers jersey. 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 February 22, 2024. To nominate a King or Queen of the Classroom and for the contest’s official rules, click here to visit the 76ers website.
