Thank an Educator. Fuel a Future.
Powered by Gratitude. Fuelled by Community Love.
Our Thank an Educator campaign is all about shouting out the awesome teachers and school staff who make school a safe, fun, and empowering place for local kids. These shout-outs aren’t just feel-good moments (though they totally are!) — they also support something bigger.
Every message of thanks helps support our Backpack Program, making sure local kids head back to school with a fully stocked backpack — filled with supplies, confidence, and care.
Because when we lift up educators, we’re also lifting up students.
Here are some of the wonderful educators who’ve been recognized so far:
