The Ray of Light Award

The Ray of Light Award

sponsored by the Special Education Parent Advisory Committee

"When we engulf children with love, respect and consideration, we radiate an amazing Ray of Light"

Introduction

Many dedicated professionals within our school district have touched the life of a child in Special Education in one fashion or another. From a teacher, to teacher's assistant, librarian, bus driver or other dedicated staff member, these people are the hard working and caring individuals who have taken the time to reach out to our "special children" and make a difference in their lives. To honor these dedicated professionals and to show appreciation, the Special Education Parent Advisory Committee has established the "Ray of Light" award.

Ray of Light Award

The Ray of Light Award is awarded three times a semester starting in October. The award is comprised of an acrylic prism, which signifies rays of light. The recipients will be recognized in PTA Newsletters, the School Zone Online and local/community newspapers. With permission from campus Principals/Supervisors the committee presents this award during a scheduled staff meeting.
