The WALK OF HEARTS® Foundation recognizes exceptional educators for their commitment, innovation, and positive influence on their students’ lives. The WALK OF HEARTS® Foundation is open to all who teach, or have taught, within Los Angeles County, both in public and private schools.

Selected teachers are honored with a bronze plaque embedded in the sidewalk. In 2014, the 50th teacher was honored in the original Walk of Fame for Exceptional Educators located in the All America City of Canoga Park.

In 2016 a partnership with the WALK OF HEARTS® Foundation and The Village at Westfield Topanga was announced ensuring exceptional educators would be honored in annual induction ceremonies. The next celebration, honoring 5 outstanding teachers, is scheduled for May 5, 2019.

The 2019 Walk of Hearts inductees are:

• Edie Aitchison, Welby Way Charter Elementary School

• Caryn Michaels, Canoga Park High School

• Dan Saborio, Hamlin Charter Academy / Hart Street School
