"*tiger."

Good m things like writing a letter, making a phone call or baking some goodies... all the way to helping out financially.

The woman behind this program, char petrich, tells me so many people have stepped up to show their appreciation.

She's a mom herself and see's firsthand the challenges teachers are "and the teachers have to pivot and change and still find ways to engage with the kids, make sure they're learning.

It just felt like a lot of times, teachers only hear the negative and our staff.

We're trying to make sure we support all staff, principal, administration, facility staff, everyone.

And we wanted to make sure they were hearing the positive because we really feel like they're doing positive things."
