🍎 THEY’RE BACK! 🍎

A great educator can change the course of a life.

They stay after class. They cheer students on. They build confidence, spark curiosity, and help young people discover what they’re capable of.

This year, say “thank you” in a way that gives back.

Our Thank an Educator certificates are back and available now! When you make a $25 donation to United Way Peterborough & District’s Backpacks for Success program, we’ll send a personalized digital certificate (you get to choose from 4 options) for an educator of your choice, letting them know they’ve been honoured in recognition of the difference they’ve made in local students lives.

It’s a meaningful way to celebrate a teacher, EA, principal, ECE, coach, or mentor while helping local students head back to school with the supplies they need to succeed.

✨ Honour an educator
🎒 Support local students
❤️ Create a lasting impact

Because the people who help students succeed deserve to be celebrated.
