Beyond offering healthier snack options, Sprouts is also teaming up with top brands to bring microwaves and air fryers straight to the teacher lounges! Now, teachers can whip up delicious, easy school lunches and snacks in no time. 

WHEN:

Following the kickoff on July 31, schools across the country can join in on the back-to-school prep by nominating their local teachers’ lounge.
