Excellence in Education Awards 2023
Thank you to all who attended the 16th Annual Excellence in Education Awards.
La velada contó con una recepción para establecer contactos con una subasta silenciosa, actuaciones musicales, deliciosos aperitivos combinados con vino y cerveza especialmente seleccionados y, por supuesto, la ceremonia de entrega de premios.
This year’s event celebrated our community’s commitment to literacy and the importance of inspiring a passion for reading in all students. We are thrilled to have honored the following friends of SPEF with the SPEF Leadership in Literacy Award, which recognizes those who serve the Stamford community and go above and beyond in their support of public education and specifically, children’s literacy. In addition to these three awards, we announced the nominees and winner of the SPEF Educator Award!
