Past Appreciation Efforts
We launched the coalition of partners and campaign honoring our South City Educators in 2023!
We began our planning by partnering with teachers and holding design sessions to hear directly how we should engage all educators on their preferences and gather ideas for the appreciation they would enjoy most. We then established Guiding Principles.
In April 2023, we piloted an Educator Appreciation event where educators participated in a March Madness-like bracket voting system on the appreciation they would enjoy most.
As a result of how educators voted, we provided the catered lunch of their choice to every school site and department, as well as gifted each educator a $25 gift card to thank them for all their amazing work in developing our students!
