“I remember going home that day having more self-esteem, self-confidence, and self-love than I’ve had in awhile, if not ever.” – Elizabeth Mintz

Today we recognize every educator who has dedicated their career to making the lives of every student, with or without a disability. Your patience, empathy, and passion are exactly what this world needs. You shape the minds of our youth and make the world better, one student at a time. Thank you for accepting our children with disabilities, thank you for creating a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment.
