Titled “Champions of Our School,” this video celebrates the people who make a difference every day—from teachers and mentors to staff and community partners who support learning inside and outside the classroom.
Even though we didn’t place this year, we couldn’t be prouder of the creativity, teamwork, and heart that went into this project.
