Educators Rising is a brand new organization to Garrett High School for students that are considering a career in the field of education. This group is essential for our future because of the major teacher shortage we are facing all over the country. Five of our Educators Rising members competed in education related competitions at the state conference in February, and FOUR of them qualified to move on to the national conference to represent the state of Indiana! The trip is in Washington, D.C., and we need to raise funds to get them there! Among many other fundraisers, we have scheduled multiple Dine to Donate events around Garrett and Auburn. The first of these events is on Tuesday, April 9 at Culver's in Auburn, and the second will be on Monday, April 15 at Lalo's in Garrett. We have also scheduled with Chipotle in Auburn on Wednesday, May 1. PLEASE help support us if you are able and come out to see us. Make sure to mention you are supporting Educators Rising at Garrett High School

Dont miss your chance to see this production! Students have been working really hard to put this together and cant wait to perform. We hope to see you there! #CarrytheG
