Teacher Wishlist: How a Local Orthodontist Gives Back to Schools
Teachers are the heart of our communities. They inspire, encourage, and support students every single day, often going far beyond the classroom to make a lasting impact. At Gray Orthodontics, we believe those efforts deserve recognition, which is why we’re proud to launch our Teacher Wishlist initiative.
As a local orthodontic practice, giving back to schools isn’t just something we do occasionally — it’s part of who we are. The Teacher Wishlist is our way of saying thank you to the educators who shape the future of our community.
Why Supporting Teachers Matters to Gray Orthodontics
Schools play a critical role in the lives of the families we serve. Teachers help build confidence, instill values, and encourage growth, much like orthodontic care helps children and teens grow into confident versions of themselves. As a local orthodontist giving back to schools, we see firsthand how strong educational communities create stronger, healthier communities overall.
Many teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies and resources to give their students the best possible experience. The Teacher Wishlist campaign is designed to support educators directly and recognize the incredible work they do every day.
What Is the Teacher Wishlist?
The Teacher Wishlist is a community-focused campaign where families, students, and community members can nominate a teacher who inspires them. Each nomination helps us identify educators who are making a difference and gives them a chance to receive meaningful support.
Selected teachers will receive a gift basket filled with classroom supplies along with a gift card to help offset the out-of-pocket expenses so many educators face. It’s a simple but heartfelt way to say thank you.
How the Teacher Wishlist Works
Participating in the Teacher Wishlist is easy and open to everyone in the community. If you know a teacher who goes above and beyond, we encourage you to nominate them today.

Fill out the short nomination form and tell us why this teacher deserves recognition. Whether it’s a teacher who made a difference in your child’s life or someone you personally admire, every nomination helps us celebrate educators who care deeply about their students.
Why This Campaign Is Important to Our Practice
Gray Orthodontics is more than an orthodontic office. We’re part of the neighborhoods we serve, and we believe local businesses have a responsibility to give back. Supporting schools and teachers allows us to invest directly in the future of our community.
Being a local orthodontist who gives back to schools also helps us connect with families in a meaningful way. When families see a practice supporting educators, it reinforces trust, shared values, and a sense of community partnership.
The Impact of Community Giving
When teachers feel supported, it positively affects students, families, and the broader community. A small gesture can make a big difference, whether it’s providing supplies, easing financial stress, or simply reminding educators that their hard work is noticed and appreciated.
The Teacher Wishlist is about more than prizes. It’s about recognition, gratitude, and strengthening the relationship between schools and the local businesses that serve them.
Who Can Be Nominated?
Teachers at all grade levels are eligible for nomination. Whether they teach elementary, middle school, or high school, every educator has the opportunity to be recognized through this program. We encourage families, students, parents, and community members to participate and share the stories of teachers who inspire them.
