We pause to celebrate the people shaping our future—teachers. During Teacher Appreciation Week, we recognize the educators who go far beyond the lesson plan—digging into their own pockets, extending their hours, and pouring
into our children, even as classrooms face tighter budgets and tougher challenges. We’ll hear directly some of those on the front lines—teachers who continue to inspire, uplift, and show up, no matter what. We will also tell you about an upcoming Awards Gala and fundraiser to honor educators in the DMV.
