As part of its ongoing celebration of everyday Americans who make extraordinary contributions to their communities, Wonder bread is, for a second year, inviting American families to nominate inspiring teachers for the 2012 7Wonders of the USA Teacher Tour program.

The 2012 7Wonders of the USA Teacher Tour honors selfless contributions of American teachers and the ways they inspire a sense of wonder in students by giving them the chance to visit and teach a lesson from one of America’s 7Wonders. This year, Wonder will send the seven lucky 7Wonders teacher winners to locations that celebrate American heritage: the Freedom Trail in Boston; Gateway Arch in St. Louis; Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, Penn.; the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia; the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis; “Old Faithful” Geyser in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming; and Redwood National and State Park in California.

The schools of each of the 7Wonders winning teachers also will receive $1,000 to help plan field trips to wonders in their local communities. Plus, families who nominate inspiring teachers can enter for a chance to win one of seven Family Field Trip packages, which include $300 for travel expenses and a digital camera to capture all the memorable moments created on the journey.

From now through Oct. 5, consumers can nominate a teacher by visiting the 7Wonders of the USA website at http://www.7wondersoftheusa.com/.
