Shout-Outs

Shout-out QR Codes are posted throughout the school, giving students an easy way to recognize and appreciate their teachers. Each week, Educators Rising students select one teacher from the submissions, personally deliver the shout-out, and experience their excitement firsthand. The recognition is then shared on the school announcements and displayed on TVs around the building.
