ASHLAND — Firelands Electric places a tremendous value on education — it’s actually one of the company’s Seven Cooperative Principles.
Firelands also recognizes that quality education requires passionate and devoted teachers. To that end, through March 9, Firelands Electric is asking the cooperative’s member-families to nominate their elementary school’s most dedicated teachers as part of its Terrific Teachers Contest.
Those teachers with the most nominations in each of two grade categories (K-2 and 3-5) will win a plaque and a prize package for their classroom. The package will be age-appropriate for their class and will include energy-themed books, games, and activities valued at approximately $100.
Runners-up in each grade category will receive a package worth $50. Winners will be announced in mid-March and be featured in an upcoming issue of Ohio Cooperative Living magazine and on Firelands’ social media outlets.
For complete contest rules and the link to nominate your child’s teacher, visit the co-op’s website at www.firelandsec.com/contests. For questions regarding the contest, please contact Firelands Electric’s Member Services Department at members@firelandsec.com or by calling 1-800-533-8658.
Firelands Electric, A Touchstone Energy Cooperative, is a member-owned, not-for-profit electric cooperative providing electric service to over 9,100 homes and businesses in rural areas of Ashland, Huron, Lorain, and Richland counties.
