In this inspiring episode of The Dadpreneur Podcast, we sit down with Ted Hoskinson, the founder of Roots and Wings, a transformative non-profit located in Palm Beach County dedicated to enhancing public elementary education. This organization has made a remarkable impact by honoring teachers and staff through their Above and Beyond Award, celebrating those who go the extra mile for their students. Since 2016, they have recognized over 1,400 individuals, surprising them with heartfelt awards in front of their peers and students.
We also discuss Project UpLift, a vital initiative aimed at supporting students who are reading below grade level. This innovative program provides small group after-school literacy classes tailored to meet the specific needs of students, fostering a safe and encouraging environment that builds confidence and self-esteem. With the support of dedicated Literacy Coordinators from within the schools, Roots and Wings has successfully raised the reading proficiency of participants, helping them achieve grade-level reading skills by the end of the year.
Join us as we explore the powerful impact of community-focused education initiatives and how honoring educators and empowering students can create lasting change. Tune in for a conversation that highlights the importance of supporting our schools and uplifting the next generation!
