EDUCATORS FOR KIDS

2009 AWARD

Educators for Kids is an organization committed to the children of the City of Newark.  We believe that our children are our greatest resource and deserve an education that will provide them with the "best and brightest" future possible.

To this end, it is necessary that we as a community locate and celebrate the unsung heroes in education.  Those individuals who work tirelessly and do amazing work with children everyday to insure that our children CAN achieve the "best and brightest" future.

Do you know an exceptional educator who exhibits an unwavering commitment to excellence?  An educator who has students that consistently make significant academic gains?  An educator who is a leader in our community and inspires others?

Educators for Kids would like to honor and thank three individuals who have demonsrated commitment and dedication to the children of Newark.  Experts within the City of Newark's educational system, who exemplify the highest standards and best practices in education.  Professionals who have high standards for themselves and the children entrusted in their care and are committed to children's activities outside the scope of daily service.

Recognizing quality educators within our community will be the hallmark of our organization.  Eligible candidates are full time principals, teachers, school staff, or community leaders.  Qualifications include time devoted to students, school and community activities, and contributions made to a school and/or community.

If you are aware of an individual who is an outstanding educator and exhibits all these qualities, please take a moment to nominate this individual for the Educators for Kids 2009 annual award.  Please e-mail your nominees name, address, school, postition, and phone number along with your name and phone number to:
