EDUCATOR SUPPORT & GIVEBACK

If you’ve ever been a part of our GYTO community, then it’s no secret that one of our most intentional initiatives is to celebrate educators. As a GYTO team and community, we are constantly seeking opportunities to give back to deserving educators and help them reach their individual goals and fullest potential.

By collaborating with our partners, we gave away more than $50,000 in prizes to teachers to help them improve their instructional goals and spaces. We were also able to gift an Engagement Lab to Winifred Pifer Elementary School in Paso Robles, CA!

Since our creation, GYTO has been focused on uplifting educators and encouraging them as they, in turn, uplift their school communities. With that in mind, GYTO celebrates the end of the school year with our Annual Gold Star Teacher of the Year Award! We want to spotlight the educators that have made a difference, going above and beyond in the classroom, in their community, or in supporting students, their families, and their colleagues.
