Behind every great school and thriving student is someone quietly making a difference.
This year, Dean Leisgang worked with WASDA to produce a video highlighting the Child Advocacy Award winners—ordinary people doing extraordinary things for kids.
Do you know someone like that in your community? Nominate them for next year’s award and help highlight the people who make our schools and neighborhoods stronger. Check out the video to see Fred's impact.
