"We Appreciate Teachers" is an initiative designed to celebrate and support teachers statewide with the hopes of also slowing down their loss in the state. This contest truly supports the students and teachers as it provides much-needed school supplies for students who are unable to afford them while also working to eliminate the need for teachers to pay for supplies out of their own pocket. Most importantly, it provides the students with the tools, confidence, and excitement they all deserve.
