For educators, students are the heart of why they show up day after day to inspire, encourage, teach, and motivate.

And for students, the teachers who go the extra mile are never forgotten.

Behind every student is a teacher who believed in them. Teachers have long been a source of inspiration, guidance, and encouragement.

Every student can name someone who changed their life simply by never giving up on them. Today, we’re giving students the chance to say thank you and share their stories.

This one comes from Lola Z.

Class of 2026

Teachers are often the first to see who we might become before we can see it ourselves. They plant ideas that take root and grow. Eventually, those ideas shape the way we think, learn, and move through the world long after graduation.

This month, we are celebrating those extraordinary teachers whose impact does not end with the final bell, but continues to echo through every life they have helped shape.

This message comes from Conner C. at Organ Mountain High School.

The annual film showcase shines a spotlight on the incredible storytelling talents of students from elementary through high school.

The red-carpet walk will begin at 5:00 p.m. Screenings for student films will follow throughout the evening at 6:00 p.m., 7:00 p.m., and 8:00 p.m., offering audiences a front-row seat to a wide range of original student productions.

Non-competitive student films will be shown on night one, while the second night will feature films submitted for the student competition.

The competition includes three fast-paced and creative divisions:
• 168-Hour Film Competition (Elementary School)
• 98-Hour Film Competition (Middle School)
• 48-Hour Film Competition (High School)
