2008 Teacher Recognition Awards - News

Teacher Recognition Honorees at the 2007 Teacher Appreciation Awards Ceremony at the Butterfly Pavilion, May 2007

The Jared Polis Foundation is proud to announce the 2008 Teacher Recognition Honorees. We received more than 125 nominations this year, and it was a very competitive process. However, the nominations for our 15 honorees clearly demonstrated their commitment to students; innovative teaching; and collaborative style with their colleagues, and we are looking forward to the May 6th Awards Ceremony—at the Westin Westminster from 4:30-6pm—to honor them. All of the teachers nominated this year impressed the review committee with their hard work and dedication to their students.

If you are interested in attending the May 6th Awards Ceremony, please contact Melissa Meyer at melissa@jaredpolisfoundation.org or 303.865.3972.
