Barnes and Noble wants to commemorate our teachers by giving them the opportunity to win $5,000 for affecting positive change in their students lives.

All junior high and high school students have until Friday, March 1 to tell their local Barnes and Noble about a teacher that has influenced their life through their choice of writing styles, including but not limited to, poems, essays and thank-you letters, said Marisa Trebizo, store manager at Barnes & Noble, Valencia.
