Lifetouch receives “Champion for Public Education Recognition” by National School Board Association

Lifetouch announced it is a recipient of the National School Board Association’s Champion for Public Education designation for standing with public schools during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond. This year, as schools across the country closed their classrooms and were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Lifetouch continued to support more than 50,000 National School Board Association school leaders with photography through its partnership.

“We are happy to recognize the sponsors who continue to invest in the vital work we do to help advance equitable learning opportunities for our nation’s public schoolchildren,” said National School Boards Association Executive Director & CEO Anna Maria Chávez. “Amid the challenges of this pandemic, we are particularly grateful for the meaningful support of our sponsors.”

“Now more than ever, it’s critical to invest in the organizations that are facilitating ongoing learning, care and support for our children across the country,” said Greg Hintz, president of Lifetouch. “Lifetouch has been capturing and preserving precious school memories for families for more than 84 years, and we are incredibly grateful to our educational partners for sharing in this mission.”

Lifetouch also renewed its commitment to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. For 11 years, Lifetouch is participating in the SmileSafe program, which provides SmileSafe photo ID cards as a free service to its schools’ families. In the event of a missing child, Lifetouch rapidly provides law enforcement a current photograph.
