Everyone plays a role in making public schools a great place to learn & grow.

Every day, remarkable things happen in our public schools—students have transformative moments and teachers experience incredibly rewarding moments.

At the heart of these moments are the powerful relationships between teachers and students—bonds that spark curiosity, build confidence, and grow futures.

Teachers are deeply committed to the wellbeing of every student, working tirelessly to create safe, supportive spaces where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

At the heart of these moments are the powerful relationships between teachers and students—bonds that spark curiosity, build confidence, and grow futures.

Too often, these positive stories go unheard.

It’s time to change that.

By sharing the real experiences from inside our schools—stories of growth, resilience, care, and transformation—we not only build confidence in public education, we strengthen trust and show what’s possible when schools are supported.

Together we are supporters, trusted leaders, and partners in education—committed to our teachers, our students, and the futures we’re growing in every public school
