The educators and supporters who use DonorsChoose.org create countless occasions to celebrate, and—when we're lucky—a camera is rolling to capture the moment. Here are 16 favorite videos from 16 years of memories shared by our teachers, donors, partners, and staff. (Prepare your brain for a delightful endorphin rush.)
