Thanks To My Teacher is harvesting individual memories of – and thanks to – teachers who have made a difference.  We will channel those many, many individual memories into a collective grassroots force that reminds society of the important place teachers occupy in our lives and in our hearts.

See some of the people who have already spoken out to say "Thanks to my teacher."

Thanks To My Teacher is video-recording a wide spectrum of people, documenting their individual, very personal memories of a teacher who made a difference in their life, and giving them a platform from which to formally and publicly express their gratitude to that teacher.

Some of our contributors are instantly recognizable, some have impressive credentials, and some are faces in the crowd. But each short, professionally produced video – whether it be joyful, tearful, or wistful – is a compelling testament to the formative contribution one teacher made to one student's life. Together, they are a vivid reminder of the value teachers bring to society as a whole.
