“At ClassTag we want everyone to #TeamUpForTeachers: parents, our corporate partners, broader community. This award and competition is an amazing platform to drive even more support for our mission and, more importantly, the recognition for the teachers who are going above and beyond for their students even if it means jumping over the hoops to connect with all families or spending their own money out of pocket.” – Vlada Lotkina, co-founder and CEO of ClassTag.
