"A Day Made Better" for Live Oak Teacher

October 6 , 2009, began like any other day for Live Oak Elementary School Teacher Jeff McGlocklin but thanks to OfficeMax, it was "A Day Made Better."

In an effort to provide economic relief for teachers and encourage national support, hundreds of OfficeMax associates - working secretly with principals - honored teachers with classroom donations of much-needed school supplies on Tuesday.  One thousand teachers  at 1,000 schools around the country were selected by their principals to be recognized as part of "A Day Made Better," OfficeMax's national campaign.  Principal Ricardo Chaparro nominated Mr. McGlocklin for his outstanding work with Live Oak's Accelerated Reading program.

Mr. McGlocklin was surprised by with an in-class ceremony where he received more than $1,000 worth of supplies for his classroom, including a new teacher chair, printer, digital camera, and paper.
