Reese Witherspoon Is Giving Teachers Free Dresses In Gratitude For Their Hard Work

Updated August 16, 2021

For many parents who are now taking care of their children while schools are closed, it's the first time they are getting a first hand experience on what teachers go through and do every single day.

Information about the coronavirus pandemic is rapidly changing and Diply is committed to providing the most recent data as it becomes available.

Reese Witherspoon and her brand Draper James want to thank the teachers who are working incredibly hard.

The "Draper James Loves Teachers" initiative was just announced and it's an amazing opportunity for teachers to receive a free dress from the brand.

Reese opened up about why she is doing this.

"These past few weeks have shown me so much about humanity. I'm an eternal optimist, so I always look for the bright side of things," Reese explained in a press release.

"I have been so encouraged by the ways people are really showing up for each other. Particularly the teachers."

During quarantine, teachers are broadcasting lessons from their own homes and figuring out new remote-learning technology and platforms on the fly, all while continuing to educate and connect with our kids.

"Advocating for the children of the world is no easy task, so I wanted to show teachers a little extra love right now."

The way it works is that teachers can enter their information starting on Sunday on this form and afterwards they'll be emailed the details on how to redeem their complimentary dress.

What a great move from Reese and Draper James!
