Supporting Reading—One Taco at a Time!
Earlier this month, Taco John’s was excited to support Kristin Noack, an 8th-grade teacher at Sheldon Middle School, by providing coupons for her classroom.
She’s inspiring students to read through fun bingo boards and rewarding their efforts with Taco John’s coupons—what a great way to motivate learners! We love seeing teachers go the extra mile for their students. Go Orabs!

During the event, the group shared how the Champion Network supports leadership, connection, and student growth within Sheldon CSD. They spoke with numerous state legislators, as well as Lieutenant Governor Chris Cournoyer and Iowa Department of Education Director McKenzie Snow, highlighting the positive impact mentorship programs have on schools and communities.
