Honored. Humbled. Still Teaching.

The mission has never been about applause. It has always been about the students sitting in our classrooms, the children who need someone to believe in them, and the communities that deserve opportunity, literacy, and hope.

Every award represents early mornings, late nights, tutoring sessions, difficult conversations, lesson planning, mentorship, and a commitment to never give up on our youth.

The L.J.E. Legacy Literacy Foundation continues to stand on literacy, leadership, mentorship, and legacy. Rooted in gold and navy blue, we remain committed to building readers, empowering leaders, and creating opportunities that leave a lasting impact on the next generation.

Thank you to every student, parent, educator, mentor, and supporter who continues to pour into this vision. The work continues, and the legacy grows stronger every day. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

From all of us at LJE Legacy Literacy Foundation, we want to say thank you to everyone who supported and voted for our founder, Quintarries Upshaw, as he received the Crystal Apple Award.

To see someone from our community be recognized on a national level for the work he has poured into students, literacy, tutoring, and education means more than words can explain. This award represents early mornings, late nights, sacrifices, and a genuine love for teaching and helping children succeed.

Over the past year, Quintarries has continued to serve students both inside and outside of the classroom through tutoring, literacy outreach, mentorship, and educational leadership. This recognition is not just about one person โ€” it reflects the students, families, schools, and community that continue to believe in the mission.

Thank you for every vote, every encouraging word, and every act of support. We truly appreciate it, and we do not take it lightly.
