I went on a cross-country mission to surprise five incredible educators — and it all ended in Times Square with $200,000 (thanks to @canva!) in gratitude for our nation’s heroes: teachers. @CBSMornings

[David Begnaud @DavidBegnaud]

I had the privilege of surprising five remarkable human beings with unforgettable news: they’re being inducted into the National Teachers Hall of Fame.

These aren’t just educators. They are builders of character. Quiet heroes who have shaped countless lives with compassion, wisdom, and unwavering dedication.

Huge thanks to @canva and the National Teachers Hall of Fame for making this moment possible.
