A letter from our CEO

Dear Starbird Family,

May is Teacher Appreciation Month, a time to celebrate the incredible educators who dedicate their lives to shaping young minds. As the son of two teachers, I understand firsthand the profound impact teachers have on our communities, fostering knowledge, instilling curiosity, and nurturing future leaders.

At Starbird, we believe a strong community thrives on collaboration. During Teacher Appreciation Month, we've partnered with leading education non-profits in our local markets:
‍
- Bay Area: The Children's Book Project provides much-needed books and educational resources to underserved communities in the Bay Area.

- SoCal: The Los Angeles Education Partnership (LAEP) is the leading non-profit championing education equity for all students in Los Angeles.

Contributing to these amazing organizations allows us to support education at large while making a direct impact in the areas where we live and work.

‍To contribute to these organizations, simply add a "$5 Education Donation" to your cart when ordering online at any Starbird location. Starbird will be matching the sum of all donations collected at the end of May. Your contribution, combined with our match, will empower these incredible organizations to continue to thrive in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

Education is the cornerstone of a thriving community, and it starts with the people who make Starbird what it is – our amazing team members. We are dedicated to investing in the development and future of all our team members by offering a $5,000 annual education benefit. This benefit allows our employees to pursue educational opportunities, from professional development courses to advanced degrees, empowering them to grow personally and professionally.

Thank you for being a part of the Starbird family and for joining us in investing in the future – both for our team and for our communities.


Sincerely,
‍Aaron Noveshen
‍CEO & Founder, Starbird
