We 💙 our NWTI Instructors and are incredibly thankful for the partnership that allows students to explore new passions and career paths with such TALENTED educators! If you have time this week, we encourage you to reach out to these educators and tell them how much they mean to you/your child! Showing appreciation for a special individual doesn't always mean having to spend money. You can write a heartfelt letter, call/email/in person to tell them how much you care for them, or recommend them by writing a review on our Facebook!
