To honor the creative efforts teachers have made to maneuver their ever-shifting learning environments and keep students engaged this past year, SONIC^® Drive-In donated $1.5 million to teacher requests on national education nonprofit site DonorsChoose on Teacher Appreciation Day, May 4. As part of SONIC’s ongoing Limeades for Learning initiative, the $1.5 million donation helped fund more than 7,000 teacher requests across the country in need of critical resources, including two teachers in Kingman, Ariz., who received a combined donation of $2,957.00.

On Teacher Appreciation Day, the brand matched 50 percent of each donation made to all teacher requests on DonorsChoose. In Kingman, the following teachers at two schools received funding:

• Mrs. Richmond at Cerbat Elementary School for the project “Replenish Our Classroom!”
• Mrs. Rivedal at Hualapai Elementary School for the project “Pandemic Desks”

“Teachers took this past year head-on, engineering a variety of innovative methods to keep their students learning in both in-person and virtual classrooms,” said Lori Abou Habib, chief marketing officer for SONIC. “We express our gratitude to teachers like these, who create inspirational learning environments for students during a challenging time. With SONIC’s $1.5 million donation match, we were able to help teachers access much-need supplies to successfully complete this school year.”

SONIC is committed to helping teachers now in this time of need, and all year long. Through Limeades for Learning, SONIC has donated more than $19 million to public school teachers, helping more than 36,000 teachers and impacting nearly 7.4 million students in public schools nationwide since 2009.

A private burial service will be held at a later time for the family.

Bobbie loved to knit and crochet. She would spend hours making blankets, scarves and hats for those less fortunate. She was the “Queen of the Classy Ladies,” as well as a member of the Kingman Social Club, Mad Hatters, Kathryn Heidenreich Adult Center (Bunco, and Witches of the Round Table), Chloride Jewels of the Cerbat, Snugs and Hugs, and the Ladies Craft Group at the Kingman Church of Christ. She also loved to play cards with her sisters.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to an animal charity of your choice in Bobbie’s memory.
