Local teachers need your help.

Phil Benenati, who teaches photography at Reynolds High School, and Nancy Smoot, who teaches kindergarten at Brunson Elementary School, have entered their respective schools in a contest that would mean a $50,000 computer lab for the winning school.

“I have entered a ‘Back to School’ photo contest that depicts RJR students in front of our auditorium,” Benenati said. 

Smoot’s photo shows her riding a unicycle. “I am a kindergarten teacher,” she wrote next to the picture. “I ride my unicycle for my students at the end of each school year!"

South Fork and Moore elementary schools are also participating in the contest.

People can go online to vote, and the school that gets the most votes by Sept. 8, the school will receive $50,000 worth of new computers. The contest is sponsored by Rack Room Shoes. People can vote every day between now and then. Benenati is hoping that people will not only vote but also let their friends and families know about it and urge them to vote at well.

Unfortunately for Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools, they can vote for only one school per day.
