District seeks award nominees

The Cedar Grove-Belgium School District is among 24 districts aiming to recognize exceptional school employees through the Eastern Wisconsin Excellence in Education program.

The program asks parents, students, community members and staff members to nominate school employees for awards in five categories:

• Innovation in work — how has the employee demonstrated innovation in their work area?

• Culture creator in the work environment — how has the employee gone above and beyond in creating a positive school culture?

• Social/emotional well being — how has the employee impacted the social/emotional well being of students and/or the school environment?

• Community involvement — how has the employee positively impacted the community?

• Student connection  — in what ways has the employee built positive relationships with students?

The nomination deadline is Feb. 9.

Finalists will be asked to elaborate on the work outlined in the nomination. The judges will then select the award recipients in each category.

The awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 16, at the Kohler Performing Arts Center.
