Some educators will do anything to teach a lesson in their class. This is certainly true of Jeremiah Murray, a US History teacher at Eleanor Roosevelt High School in Eastvale, California.
Jeremiah showed up at school this week in a set of Arby’s “meat sweats,” which he says are really difficult to obtain. “This may seem weird, but I have been trying to get these meat sweats from Arby’s for about two years,” confessed the inventive educator. “I have asked Arby’s on multiple occasions from multiple platforms, only to always be denied,” he continued. “I wanted them for when I teach about the Progressive Era and the Meat Inspection Act,” he explained.
Evidently one of Jeremiah’s students reached out to Arby’s, bombarding the company with daily emails until she finally got a response to the request. “It came with a handwritten note from corporate Arby’s thanking me for impacting students, and a gift card,” Jeremiah says. And all the credit goes to the student, the teacher claims. “She literally got me something that cannot be bought,” he said. “And the kicker, the student didn’t even seek credit. She said it was from the whole class,” he said.
“I absolutely love what I do and am incredibly blessed to have all of my amazing students,” Jeremiah concluded.
