Rent One Honors Educators with Teacher Appreciation Contest

St. Louis-based Rent One recently surprised Mrs. Webster, a Kindergarten teacher at Westarn Elementary School in Huntsville, Missouri, announcing them winners of the company’s “Nominate a Teacher You Love,” contest. Webster received a Rent One Teacher’s Appreciation plaque, balloons, a $250 cash prize and apples for her students. In August, Rent One solicited entries for the contest, asking Facebook followers to nominate their favorite teacher by submitting a short video why. Webster was nominated by Rent One’s Store Manager Sierra Garrett from Macon, Missouri, whose daughter is a student of hers. Rent One’s Marketing Manager Owen Pye and Garrett, along with a videographer, surprised Webster at her school.
