Rhode Island kicked off the 2024-25 Milken Educator Award season by adding an incredible educator to the Milken family: kindergarten teacher Maria Santonastaso! We surprised the outstanding educator with the Milken Educator Award and a $25,000 cash prize in front of students, colleagues, veteran Milken Educators, and visiting dignitaries. Take a look at how the top-secret surprise was revealed.
