Clicking the play button starts an animated video about real-life teachers and the impact they made on students. The clip was created in partnership with StoryCorps and U.S.-based guest animators Lindsey Deschamps, Monique Wray and Vrinda Zaveri.
The video covers teachers Alexia Dukes and Maria Rivera who supported each other during the COVID-19 pandemic, paraprofessional Rugenia Keefe who helped student Cole Phillips through high school after he became blind, teacher Carlos Vizcarra who befriended student Jose Catalan after Catalan came to the U.S. from Mexico and more.

When Cole Phillips was a nine-year-old boy, he dreamed of having a slide in Newcastle Park. He put action behind his dream by raising money for more than two years to fund “The Cole Project” along with then-mayor Gina Maxwell, Olney Advocate Publisher, Kurt McCord and others. Newcastle and the surrounding communities contributed more than $23,000 to make Phillips’ dream a reality for the 2016 “Christmas in the Park” event. During the event, they unveiled a monument with the names of people who donated to the project. Also, a special memorial and dedication plaque was made to honor McCord, who died before seeing the project’s completion.
