🥇 What an incredible week! 🥇
Yesterday we found a way to surprise 4 local teachers by announcing our 2021 Gladys Prior Awards for Career Teaching Excellence and today we got to surprise them at school with flowers and special yard signs!
In front of their peers, Dean Yendol-Hoppey, made the special announcement and each teacher was awarded $15,000 for their commitment to education. Even our friend, Mr. Gilchrist Berg, who founded and sponsors this award, joined us for the excitement!
This year’s winners are:
Kirk Altman, Sallye B. Mathis Elementary
Chris Banks, LaVilla School of the Arts Middle School
Jennifer Prescott, Mandarin Middle School
Sonja Sams, Highlands Elementary School
A special thanks to the Principals of each of the schools for helping us execute such an incredible surprise, even from a distance!
