Walmart surprised ten John W. Decas Elementary School teachers with $100 gift cards Thursday, part of the company's Teacher Rewards program.

"We're going to get some cool stuff! I'm going shopping," third-grade teacher Jill Marinelli told her class after Walmart store manager Paul Jandrow presented her with one of the gift cards.

Walmart's Teacher Rewards program is intended to help offset classroom expenses for teachers. Walmart associates selected Decas Elementary for the gift card donation, and teachers were chosen by random drawing to receive one of the ten cards. The cards can be used for classroom supplies or nutritional snacks.
