Honor an Inspiring Novi Schools Teacher with Essay Contest Entry

Has a Novi Community Schools teacher inspired you or changed your life?

Southeast Michigan elementary, middle and high school students from public and private institutions have the opportunity to win a 4- or 5-day cruise for their favorite teacher – plus an iPad for themselves – in Cadillac Travel Group's "The Teacher That Changed My Life" essay contest.

“Everyone has had a teacher that has inspired or changed their life, for me it was my third grade teacher,” David Fishman, president of the Southfield-based travel group, said in a press release. “That is why we developed this contest to honor all those teachers who have, mentored, inspired and given so many hours of dedication to teaching.”

Contest entries should highlight how the teacher influenced the student's life and why the student appreciates and admires the teacher. The winning teacher will be able to share the cruise with one guest, in an ocean view stateroom on a Royal Caribbean cruise ship. The prize also includes round-trip airfare, taxes, gratuities and transfers for winner and guest, to the cruise ship port city.  

Essay contest details can be found at cadillactravel.com, on the Cadillac Travel Group Facebook page or by calling 248-358-5330 or 1-800-369-TRIP (8747). Final entries should be sent to Cadillac Travel Group, 3000 Town Center Ste. 22, Southfield, MI  48075.

Celebrating its 30th year in business, Cadillac Travel Group is also giving back with its Shower Them with Kindness program, which allows travelers to collect hotel soaps and shampoos and drop them off at Cadillac Travel Group. The items will be taken to Capuchin Soup Kitchen for their services to people who are homeless.
