Members of the SONIC Teachers’ Circle program will receive exclusive rewards on August 19

As the new school year approaches, SONIC® Drive-In is happy to support teachers as they prepare their classrooms and get ready to welcome back students. Recognizing their hard work and dedication, SONIC will be offering exclusive rewards for educators who are enrolled in the SONIC Teachers’ Circle rewards program, which is open to teachers, faculty or staff at K-12 schools or degree-granting universities. On August 19, Teachers’ Circle members will receive a variety of offers that can be redeemed for various SONIC menu items.*

To stay fueled and refreshed, SONIC Teachers’ Circle members can redeem the following delicious deals anytime between August 19 and September 1.

SONIC Teachers’ Circle is a free rewards program exclusively for educators and available through the SONIC App.** Any teacher, faculty or staff at a K-12 or degree-granting university can sign up for SONIC Teachers’ Circle in the SONIC App and start receiving exclusive rewards. To take advantage of these back-to-school offers, educators must sign up before August 19, when the rewards will be loaded to their account.

In addition to rewarding educators during their back to school prep, SONIC is celebrating 15 years of supporting local education through the Limeades for Learning initiative, where a portion of every Drink, Shake, SONIC Blast or Slush purchase is donated back to help public schools, teachers and students.*** Since 2009, SONIC has donated more than $27 million to funding local classrooms, becoming one of the largest programs to support public education in the U.S.

*Each reward is valid one time only with qualifying purchase made online or in the SONIC App as a registered user through September 1, 2024. Tax and add-ins cost extra. Not valid with Combos, delivery, or any other offers. Mobile ordering available only at select locations; hours may vary.

**To join SONIC Teachers’ Circle, download the SONIC App, create an account, open your account settings by tapping the profile icon in the top right of the app, then tap “Account,” then select “I’m a Teacher” and provide your information. The program is available to educators employed by K-12 schools and colleges/universities in the United States. Once verified, Teachers’ Circle members will receive exclusive discounts and offers within the app, only available to teachers.

***SONIC donates a portion of every Drink, Slush, Blast, or Shake purchase to the SONIC Foundation, which is used to support local schools across the communities SONIC serves through partners like DonorsChoose.
