Needle Movers are the movers and shakers, the motivators and innovators, who give the kids, the schools, and the community their time, talent, and other things to make learning, working, and life in general better for everyone around them.
Some are teachers, tutors, coaches, advisors, volunteers, and administrators that work directly with the kids every day. Some are support staff in the office, the cafeteria, the clinic, transportation, and maintenance that keep everything else running smoothly.
These exceptional people take the extra time beyond work hours and make the extra efforts beyond the workplace to do what they can, when they can, where they can, to help every child win victories large and small in academics, activities, and life in general.
Please give these people who give extra some well-deserved recognition in return for all they do.
