Green Country teachers can have their share of $1-million.
For the second year in a row, U.S. Cellular is giving away money through the "Calling All Teachers" program.
Last year about $150,000 of that funding went to Green Country teachers.
Teachers can go on-line and describe a specific project they'd like to do that is outside of the usual curriculum.
U.S. Cellular will start surprising them in their classrooms this fall.
"I think the tight budget that is out there sometimes forces teachers to fund them out of their own pocket," said Brian Martin, U.S. Cellular Representative.
On average, teachers spend about $500 of their own money for classroom supplies.
