Stroehmann Bread, part of Bimbo Bakeries USA in Horsham, is partnering with the Philadelphia 76ers again on the Fourth Annual King or Queen of the Classroom Contest.

The contest is meant to honor educators, and mentors who have made a big difference in students’ lives this past year, both inside and outside the classroom.

The 76ers’s Franklin the Dog will be helping get students excited about nominating teachers who have made a significant impact on their lives.

“The Philadelphia 76ers take great pride in giving back to their community, aligning with our mission for this contest,” said Jennifer Hudak, Stroehmann Associate Brand Manager.

“We’re excited to join forces for the fourth year to help deserving local mentors score big this season.”

Students in grades K-12 can nominate a teacher by submitting a short essay on why they deserve special recognition and how they have helped them reach their educational goals.

Three winners will be chosen. They will each receive a donation of $3,000 to be used for books at a school of their choice and tickets for a future 76ers game.

The winners and those who nominated them will all receive a 76ers gift bag with team merchandise and an autographed 76ers jersey.

Students have until February 22, 2024, to submit nominations at the 76ers website.
