New Caney ISD Shares In $1M Donation From SONIC Drive-In

NEW CANEY, TX — Several schools in the New Caney Independent School District were among dozens chosen nationwide to receive classroom donations for various projects from the Limeades for Learning program administered by SONIC® Drive-In.

SONIC, which is a longtime supporter of public school teachers through this program, completed its 10th annual Fall Voting campaign last month with donations going directly to New Caney ISD classrooms.

“Through Limeades for Learning, teachers from all over the country can submit project requests to philanthropic partner DonorsChoose.org for the classroom resources they need to create an inspiring learning environment for their students," said Christi Woodworth, vice president for public relations for SONIC. “SONIC is proud to support public school teachers like those in the New Caney Independent School District, who make a positive impact in their students’ lives and in their communities every day."

During the Fall Voting campaign, which took place Oct. 1 - 28, SONIC fans voted daily for inspiring teacher projects at LimeadesForLearning.com. Each week, teacher projects that earned the most votes received a piece of SONIC’s $1 million donation.

Teacher projects ranged from materials like books, flexible seating, and art supplies to robotics kits and Chromebooks, reflecting the innovative learning solutions teachers provide to their students.

The following schools in the New Caney Ind School District had teachers who received donations as part of the tenth annual Fall Voting campaign:

• Bens Branch Elementary School
• Infinity Early College High School
• Oakley Elementary School
• Robert L Crippen Elementary School
• Sorters Mill Elementary School

Locally, 13 teachers in the New Caney ISD were among the public school teachers whose projects earned votes for funding. New Caney ISD teacher projects received a total of $15,136.45, bringing a variety of essential and enrichment learning materials to local public school classrooms.
