Wednesday evening, May 4th, was certainly a special one for members of the Vigo County School Corporation community. The Vigo County Education Foundation, along with presenting sponsors Indiana American Water, Bose McKinney & Evans, Kelly Education, Novelis, The Hometown Savings Bank and Union Hospital, hosted the 36th annual “Excellence in Education” banquet at the Providence Center on the beautiful St. Mary-of-the-Woods campus. The purpose of the event was to recognize and thank thirty-two of the best educators in the Vigo County School Corporation for the excellent work that they do. These outstanding educators received nominations from colleagues, parents and students, all sharing their heartfelt reasons why their special educator deserved this meaningful recognition. Additional funds provide academic team support at all middle and high schools. Attendees at the banquet included the award winners, their principals, families, and teachers from their school families, and numbered just over 350 people.
The Board of Directors of the Vigo County Education Foundation would like to thank those presenting sponsors, as well as partner sponsors, Allstate Insurance Agents – Bryan Sponsler and Mike Woods, Brampton Brick, Inc., Duke Energy, Foster Wealth Management, Alex Allen-Hodge and Ron Hodge, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Sisters of Providence at St. Mary-of-the-Woods, and Sycamore Insurance Associates. Thank you to our supporting sponsors, Argentum Group at Morgan Stanley, Bayh College of Education, Local Union #725, I.B.E.W., MyEyeDr Brian Ross and St. Mary-of-the-Woods College. Thanks also include First Financial Bank for providing such lovely centerpieces for the tables, Susan Dinkel of WTHI, who served as the evening’s emcee, Strawbridge for photography, and WTWO/WAWV for creating a congratulatory promo.
A community that provides such outstanding recognition to its educators is one to be applauded. Thank you for your continuing support.
