NEW
BRUNSWICK, NJ (January 20, 2013) – There is no better way to start off a new
year than with new supplies! That is exactly what two lucky New Jersey
classrooms will be doing, thanks to a special contest by the state’s most
listened-to news talk radio show, 1450 AM WCTC and a Bergen-county based everyday
and seasonal product manufacturer and distributor, FLOMO®. “New Jersey TODAY”
heard locally on 1450 AM WCTC and statewide at WCTCAM.com, and FLOMO®, a
leading provider of quality school supplies, organized a statewide contest
where every student from two lucky New Jersey classrooms would each receive
their own back-to-school backpack.
Each backpack was loaded with supplies that every student needs,
including pencils, pens, crayons, notebook, rulers, binder, pencil sharpener,
Eco Erasers, and much more generously donated by FLOMO®. “We believe in the importance of education and that children should
have adequate school supplies to use in their school years. FLOMO is proud to
help and donate whatever we can,” says FLOMO President & CEO, Wendy Shen. WCTC and FLOMO®
accepted contest nomination submissions from classrooms throughout the state;
the nominations were open to parents, teachers, administrators, and even the
students themselves.
In October, two winning classrooms were selected at random from
the nominations; a 2nd grade class at Faber School in Dunellen,
taught by Ms. Sherri Krauss, and a 3rd grade class at Academy Street
School in Dover, taught by Ms. Lyndsay George. Following a delay caused by
Hurricane Sandy, the students from each winning classroom received their
backpacks during presentation ceremonies which were held at the winning
schools. “It’s great to be able to help some Jersey students”, says Bert Baron,
WCTC’s Program Director, and host of New Jersey TODAY. “As a kid who went to
public school here in Jersey, I know that having good supplies to use every day
is vital for academic success.”
Both WCTC and FLOMO are looking forward to repeating the
contest for many years to come!
