We’re About to Change Lives Again

2013 14 notifications

I’ll let you in on a secret: Fall is our favorite time of year at the Milken Family Foundation. School is back in session, the air is crisp, the holidays are approaching…the world is full of possibilities. Oh, and we get to change the lives of dozens of amazing educators throughout the nation.

surprise of lifetimeStarting NEXT WEEK, the Milken Educator Awards team, governors, congressmen, special guests, Milken Educators and media crews of every genre will be converging on schools, taking over schoolwide assemblies and surprising unsuspecting teachers with recognition, gratitude and $25,000 checks to do with as they please.

Here’s our latest video featuring some of our Milken Educators about their notification and its impact.

If that doesn’t sound easy to pull off, it’s not. It’s complicated, challenging and exhausting; we have 26 years of practice but no two notifications are ever the same. We get up early, work hard all day and come home spent. Then we get up the next day and do it again. But I don’t have to tell you all about that. You’re educators. You do this every day for ten months straight (then do a lot more all summer) just for the chance to change lives. You do it for our nation’s young scholars; we do it for our nation’s outstanding educators—those we can surprise with an award and the thousands that we can’t but deserve to know that America values their work.

And like you, we do it all gladly, gratefully.
