An evacuation drill at Helen Herr Elementary School turned into a Teacher Appreciation Day surprise when Allegiant made an unexpected visit.
To celebrate our “$1 Million Summer” Allegiant gave free round-trip tickets to over 70 teachers, administrators, and school support staff. The tickets can be used on Allegiant’s entire network, which flies to more than 100 cities across the country.
“Allegiant recognizes the integral role that teachers and school staff play in our community, and we want to honor their hard work this Teacher Appreciation Day,” said Jude Bricker, chief operating officer at Allegiant. “The goal of our $1 Million Summer promotion is to inspire people to travel for the things in life that matter most, and we’re happy to provide airfare to every staff member at Helen Herr Elementary School. We hope the teachers know how much we appreciate all they do and are able to take some much-needed vacation time this year, courtesy of Allegiant.”
“This was a great surprise for all of the staff here,” said Kristofer Huffman, principal of Helen Herr Elementary School. “I think it means a lot to the staff who work day in and day out and give up so much of their time on the weekends. We tell them we appreciate them all the time, but for them to hear from other people in the community that they’re appreciated, I think that means a lot to them.”
We believe it’s imperative to provide groups and individuals with travel opportunities they may not otherwise be able to take and give back to our community that has given us so much.
