Congratulations to Arjelis Heredia, our 2024-25 National Life Group LifeChanger of the Year Grand Prize Winner!

Click here to view her inspiring LifeChanger profile.

Arjelis is a middle school teacher at Children’s Community School in Waterbury, Connecticut. Her colleague, Sue Mellitt, nominated her for her extraordinary commitment to her students.

Arjelis has had great success in educating and inspiring at-risk and economically disadvantaged students to achieve greatness in school and life.

We surprised her at a morning assembly in the school gym, where the room overflowed with cheers and tears. Arjelis received a $5,000 individual cash prize and another $5,000 for her school. Her students also gifted her a beautiful, handmade poster filled with messages of love and appreciation.

 

 

The best part? We’re just getting started!  We’ll be traveling around the country over the next couple of months surprising this year’s other winners – stay tuned to see where we’re heading! In the meantime, visit our website to meet the winners we’ve announced so far.
