When South Tahoe High School, my Alma Mater that I’ve given my heart and soul to as a student/mentor/coach over 18 years, has chosen another candidate, you know it’s time.
As we approach the one-year marker of the pandemic, a local non-profit wanted to honor teachers and staff in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District! Teachers and staff have taken on new technology, distance learning, student mental health issues, and so much more!
Lift Literature is a new non-profit in South Lake Tahoe whose mission is to ignite the love of reading in every child. They want to upLIFT teachers, parents, and students through this time and encourage a passion for reading.
Melissa Uppendahl, founder of Lift Literature, asked for teacher/staff shout outs and was thrilled with the response. Out of these, two teachers were selected to feature this week and to receive a gift from one of their community partners.
