🎓Every one of us has had that one teacher who changed everything. Their impact often goes untold, but before we graduate, we wanted to make sure they know just how much they mean to us. 💙Across the district, teachers were invited to a special podcast with our director of communications. But before recording, they got a surprise: a senior walked in to personally share heartfelt gratitude for the life-changing impact they’ve made. 🌟
