CITADEL HEART OF LEARNING AWARD
The 19th annual Citadel Heart of Learning Award program has kicked off, and Citadel is officially accepting nominations. Every year, Citadel receives thousands of heartfelt nominations sent from students, parents, and community members for teachers who are making a true difference in their students’ lives. All finalists receive $500 to use in their classroom and are honored at the Citadel Heart of Learning Awards banquet in early May. Three winners are selected from the 15 finalists — one high school, one middle school, and one elementary school teacher — and each receives an additional $1,500 to use in their classroom. Additionally, the top three schools from Chester County that submit the most nominations receive the “Schools with Heart” award from Citadel and earn money to support assemblies or events.
Nominations for the teacher award program will be accepted through December 31, 2019, and can be submitted at CitadelHeartofLearning.com.
Tomorrow is Day 2. Have a fantastic week!
