Bonus: $1,000 in school supplies to one teacher
Students in many districts are looking forward to next week's February break, and their teachers are being invited to a winter recess mini-vacation, in Ithaca. For the fifth year, the Ithaca area is doing its winter recess teachers' week, which offers special food and events deals to educators and their families. www.IthacaLovesTeachers.com is the free pre-registration site, with schedules of activities February 18 - 27.
Fred Bonn, Director of the Ithaca/Tompkins County Visitors Bureau, says that this year they're adding a bonus: $1,000 worth of classroom supplies for one registered teacher.
