Every great teacher leaves a mark that reaches far beyond a single classroom. 💙

The Lee Nagel Teacher Grant honors the legacy of a former fourth-grade teacher at Anne Frank Elementary whose kindness, generosity, and belief in others continue to make a difference.

Established by Lee’s family in partnership with United to Learn, the grant provides classroom resources to Dallas ISD educators in her memory.

📚 We’re currently delivering Lee Nagel Teacher Grants to educators at our partner schools! From expanding classroom libraries to creating hands-on learning experiences, these $500 grants help teachers bring their ideas to life and create meaningful learning opportunities for their students.

Through each grant, Lee’s legacy continues to reach classrooms and school communities across Dallas.

And then came an incredible surprise: WFAA gifted United to Learn $5,000 to support our work with Dallas schools! 🥹💙

We’re also celebrating the recent results from Dallas ISD and are proud to partner closely with the district, educators and school leaders as they work every day to create opportunities for Dallas students to thrive.
