This Elementary Winner Knows What It Means to Show Up

Forget the glitz and glamour, this year's elementary teaching award winner embodies the heart and soul of education. She knows what it's like to juggle the multifaceted roles of a mother, a teacher, and navigating the daily "rat race" we all experience.
Her acceptance speech wasn't filled with lofty pronouncements, but with a simple yet profound message: "Be present and stay where your feet are."

In that moment, she showed us exactly who she is – no frills, nothing fancy, just a deep and unwavering love for her students and the power of education. Her journey to this recognition wasn't paved with elaborate strategies or seeking the spotlight. It was built on the daily dedication of simply teaching her way, grounded in the principle of staying present with her students and showing up, day after day.

Join us May 5th to celebrate THIS YEARS winners and hear all new stories from our 2024 Winners! We can't wait!

Purchase Tickets before April 22nd!
