DETROIT (Oct. 12, 2016) – Comerica Bank is now accepting applications for the 2016 Comerica ‘Tools for Schools’ contest. Teachers educating students in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties are eligible for nomination. Comerica Bank will award one teacher from each of the three counties with $2,000 in school supplies for their classroom to help enhance the learning and education of their students.

The ‘Tools for Schools’ program was established to recognize deserving teachers. Community members – including school administration, fellow teachers, parents and students – are invited to nominate a teacher who is making a significant impact on the lives of their students. Teachers can also nominate themselves.

“Teachers mold the minds of our future leaders, provide an environment for learning and discovery, and give our youth the education and tools they need to succeed,” said Michael T. Ritchie, president, Comerica Bank-Michigan. “Comerica recognizes their hard work and dedication. We want to express our thanks by supplying tools to help teachers continue to enrich the lives of their students and drive their future success.”

Submissions will be accepted until 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6. The entries will be reviewed by a panel of judges from Comerica Bank and the three winners will be notified on or before Friday, Nov. 18.

All preschool, primary and secondary teachers in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne counties are eligible for nomination. For more information and to enter, visit www.facebook.com/Comerica.
