Teacher appreciation week is making an early appearance at Sonic, with the popular restaurant chain rolling out new daily rewards exclusively for educators across the United States. From Tuesday, January 16, to Friday, January 19, Sonic is offering various free items, each changing every day as a token of gratitude for the dedicated efforts of teachers and school staff.
In a news release, Sonic expressed pride in recognizing and appreciating the tireless work of educators, acknowledging their year-round dedication to inspiring children. This initiative is the latest example of Sonic’s ongoing commitment to supporting public education. As part of their “SONIC Limeades for Learning” initiative, the company donates proceeds from every Drink, Slush, Blast, or Shake purchase to fund local classrooms. Since 2009, Sonic has raised over $27 million for this cause.
Last summer, Sonic extended its appreciation to educators by offering them free items, including breakfast entrées, cheeseburgers, and medium tots or fries. This week’s special rewards are a continuation of Sonic’s dedication to supporting and recognizing the invaluable contributions of teachers.
To participate in Sonic’s Teachers’ Circle deal, teachers, faculty, and staff members at K-12 schools or “degree-granting universities” can access the offers through the official Sonic app or website. To redeem the free items, educators simply need to make any purchase during the promotional period.
The specific free items available for each day of the four-day promotion are as follows:
- Regular Breakfast Burrito on Wednesday, Jan. 17: Kickstart your day with a satisfying breakfast burrito.
- Small Cold Brew on Thursday, Jan. 18: Enjoy a refreshing and energizing small cold brew to help you power through your day.
- French Toast Sticks on Friday, Jan. 19: Treat yourself to delicious French toast sticks as a delightful end to the week.
According to the news release, this multi-day celebration is designed to express gratitude and provide a small token of appreciation to educators as they embark on a new semester. Sonic’s commitment to supporting education extends beyond this week, as the company continues its efforts to contribute to the betterment of local classrooms and acknowledges the vital role educators play in shaping the future.
Through initiatives like these, Sonic aims to strengthen its connection with communities and highlight the importance of education. By offering delicious treats and drinks, Sonic not only expresses appreciation for teachers but also encourages positive engagement with their brand, fostering goodwill and community support.
