Nominate Your Favorite Teacher To Get $500!

Levo Credit Union is awarding $500 each to 8 area teachers nominated by parents, students or community members as making a huge impact on kids. Levo started the Adopt-A-Classroom Program in 2014. Since then, Levo has awarded more than $38,000 in classroom awards to area teachers. It’s part of Levo’s history: in 1982, the Teachers Credit Union joined Levo and many teachers are still members.

“Our community has made us what we are today, and we believe in giving back to our community,” says Jen McKeown with the Levo Cares Foundation. “What better way to do that than to recognize the teachers who lay the foundation of our future by shaping the young minds of our kids?”

Anyone can make a nomination by going to https://www.levo.org/adopt-a-classroom

Nominees are able to recognize a teacher by answering two questions:

• What impact has this teacher made on your life?
• How have they demonstrated a unique and creative teaching style?

These winners will each be presented with a $500 check for classroom expenses.

Nominations must be in by Friday, December 26, 2025. Last year Levo received a record 98 nominations for educators from across our service area, including Sioux Falls, Sioux City, Harrisburg, Brandon, Watertown, Montrose, and Wessington Springs.
