By now families are preparing for to new school year. We are all praying that this will be an easier school year for students, teachers and parents.
At the beginning of this new year take time to observe those talented teachers who will contribute to the education of our children. Consider nominating one or more for the Lewis Award.
After 2 years without a celebration of the Lewis Award winners, on May 7th the winners from 20-21 and 21-22 were honored along with the finalists for this school year.
As the school year winds down, remember those teachers who made this a memorable and productive year. Consider nominating that teacher for the Lewis Award next fall.
