A Louisiana school community gathered together in warm light

Look around your school.

Someone probably already came to mind.

The student who kept going. The employee who always shows up. The person whose impact happens quietly, but makes the entire school better.

Don't let their work go unseen.

Who should we know about?

It only takes a few minutes to recognize someone whose impact deserves to be seen.
