Mark Your Calendars: Call for 2009 Teacher Recognition Nominations

Every year the Jared Polis Foundation honors 15 Colorado public school teachers during National Appreciation week in early May at the annual awards ceremony. Parents, students, principals and colleagues are welcome to nominate a teacher for one of the 15 awards. The honorees are chosen in early April, and each honoree receives a $1,000 discretionary award and his/her school receives a $1,000 operating grant. The Foundation will begin accepting nominations for its 2009 Teacher Recognition program in early January. If you are interested in nominating a teacher please visit our website at www.jaredpolisfoundation.org/teachers.
