Draper James is saying thank you to the teachers who are tirelessly working to educate children during this unprecedented and confusing time.
Reese Witherspoon’s lifestyle brand has launched a new initiative specifically for education workers that are working to navigate the change from their normal classroom to remote-learning. Called the “Draper James [Heart] Teachers” initiative, the company is offering free dresses to teachers across the country.
“These past few weeks have shown me so much about humanity. I’m an eternal optimist, so I always look for the bright side of things. And I have been so encouraged by the ways people are really showing up for each other. Particularly the teachers,” Draper James founder, Reese Witherspoon said in a statement. “During quarantine, teachers are broadcasting lessons from their own homes and figuring out new remote-learning technology and platforms on the fly, all while continuing to educate and connect with our kids. Advocating for the children of the world is no easy task, so I wanted to show teachers a little extra love right now.”
To sign up for a free dress, teachers can enter their information via Google Form from now through Sunday, April 5. According to a press release, on Tuesday, April 7, eligible teachers will receive an email from Draper James with details to receive their complimentary dress. One important thing to note, the company is only offering this deal while supplies last, so we recommend signing up asap.
And that’s not all. The lifestyle brand will also offer teachers 25 percent off online orders for Teacher Appreciation Day on May 5.
