Reese Witherspoon is giving teachers in the US the chance to win one of 250 of her brand Draper James' dresses as a gesture for their hard work during the coronavirus pandemic to ensure children are still learning.
Reese Witherspoon is giving away 250 dresses from her Draper James collection to teachers in the US amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
'The Morning' show star is running a competition for the educators who are working extra hard to provide online classes for their pupils during the health crisis.
They can enter via Google Form, from 5 April, where eligible teachers will be able to win a gown from her line - which she launched back in 2015 - with the winners unveiled on 7 April.
The winners will also be given promo codes for 25 per cent discount on the full range - which is Southern-inspired and also includes slogan mugs and tote bags.
The discount will be extended to those who work in education on 5 May to mark Teacher Appreciation Day.
Reese - who has seven-year-old son Tennessee with husband Jim Toth and Ava, 20, and Deacon, 16, with ex-spouse Ryan Phillippe - said: ''I have been so encouraged by the ways people are really showing up for each other.
''During quarantine, teachers are broadcasting lessons from their own homes and figuring out new remote-learning technology and platforms on the fly, all while continuing to educate and connect with our kids. ''Advocating for the children is no easy task, so I wanted to show teachers a little extra love right now.''
The 'Legally Blonde' actress recently said she and her family are trying to be ''patient'' with one another while self-quarantining.
The 44-year-old producer said: ''I try to be patient and they try to be patient with me, but we're only on day 11. I don't know what's gonna happen.''
The mother-of-three previously admitted she felt ''stressed'' and ''confused'' about coronavirus.
The Oscar-winning actress has felt as though she's been ''flooded by opinion'' amid the ongoing pandemic.
She said last month: ''I'm feeling everything that everyone out there is feeling: confusion, stress.
''I'm trying to look for the most scientific facts and not listen to too much opinion. I feel flooded by opinion. (I'm) talking to friends who I find very grounding.''
Reese has discussed the issue with her mother, Betty - but the Hollywood star conceded that ''we're all in new territory''.
She said: ''It's never happened in my lifetime. Talking to my mother and hearing a historical perspective is interesting from her. But I think we're all in new territory.''
