Loogootee - In honor of Teacher Appreciation Month, SONIC has made a donation to Loogootee Elementary.


Traci Letourneau at Loogootee Elementary School for the project Curating Math Minds in Middle Schoolers for Grades 3-5. Letourneau, one of 9,000 teachers nationwide, received $63.00.


As part of SONIC's ongoing Limeades for Learning initiative, the brand matched 50 percent of each donation made to teacher requests on DonorsChoose for Teacher Appreciation Day on May 3, donating a total of $1.5 million. 


"Limeades for Learning is an initiative that SONIC holds dear, and we're proud to partner with DonorsChoose on this important work," said Lori Abou Habib, Chief Marketing Officer of SONIC. "Drink purchases at SONIC bring joy to our guests while supporting students and teachers in the classroom."

SONIC donates a portion of drink proceeds to support local public schools through Limeades for Learning, in partnership with education nonprofit, DonorsChoose*. SONIC has donated more than $20 million to directly fund local education programs since 2009.
