State Prizes
Each SkillsUSA state association has the opportunity to provide five Lowe’s gift cards to deserving teachers who have significantly expanded or influenced SkillsUSA membership in that state. Some states may honor teachers specifically for membership growth, while others may recognize those who mentor new teachers to establish SkillsUSA chapters. In total participation states, teachers may be recognized for ensuring that each member is actively engaged in SkillsUSA.

Whatever the criteria, this opportunity allows SkillsUSA advisors to be honored at their state conference for allowing more students to experience SkillsUSA. Check with your SkillsUSA state director to see how the gift cards are awarded in your state.
