We’re excited to share that the Golden Apple Foundation has announced this year’s Golden Apple Award finalists and we're so proud to have four educators recognized!
Congratulations to our finalists:
- Leyre Bilbao-Luri, Belvidere South Middle School
- John Deery, Belvidere High School
- Sean Donnelly, Belvidere High School
- Andrea Woldman, Belvidere North High School
These outstanding educators truly exemplify what it means to learn, innovate and lead every day by supporting students, inspiring colleagues, and strengthening our school community.
These teachers will be observed in their classrooms by trained community volunteers on four separate occasions between Jan 20th and February 18th.The process culminates with the selection of five teachers who will receive the prestigious Golden Apple Award in March in surprise classroom presentations.
Congratulations and good luck to all of our finalists!
