To every educator who opened their classroom door again this week and kept showing up for kids…thank you!!
As Teacher Appreciation Week comes to a close, we’re overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity to celebrate the people who keep our schools moving forward every single day.
Through distributions, giveaways, events, and partnerships this week, Project Teacher was able to distribute more than $350,000 in supplies to nearly 1,000 educators across our city and state. That means thousands of students will walk into classrooms better equipped to learn, create, and thrive.
But more than the numbers, this week was a reminder of something we already knew: teachers continue to carry so much with incredible compassion, creativity, and resilience. Supporting educators isn’t just something we celebrate one week a year…it’s work worth investing in year-round.
Thank you to every volunteer, donor, partner, and supporter who helped make this week possible. And to every educator: we see you, we appreciate you, and we’re cheering you on long after this week ends.
