Ivar’s and Kidd Valley Restaurants want kids in kindergarten through eighth grade to nominate their favorite teacher for a chance to win the 2016 Teacher of the Year award.

Two educators will be selected as grand prize recipients. Each will win a $500 gift card for classroom supplies and a commemorative plaque. Kids who nominated the winning teachers will win either an Ivar’s kids meal or a Kidd Valley kids meal for every student in their class.

Four teachers will win first prize, which is a $150 gift card for classroom supplies, and 30 teachers will receive a second place prize of a $25 Ivar’s or Kidd Valley gift card.

To nominate a teacher, students 14 years old or younger may visit select Puget Sound area Ivar’s or Kidd Valley locations (excluding stadiums, airport and Eastern Washington restaurants) to complete an official entry form, or go online to Ivar’s or Kidd Valley’s website. All entries must be received by May 20, 2016.

The Ivar’s Seafood Bar in Lynnwood, located at 14912 Highway 99, is participating.

The official Teacher of the Year rules can be found on the back of store entry forms or through the Ivar’s and Kidd Valley websites.

The 2015 Ivar’s and Kidd Valley Teacher of the Year grand prize winners were Sergio Jara-Kessi of Seattle’s McDonald International Elementary School and Lana Sumner of Seattle’s Broadview Thomson K-8 Elementary School.
