TEACHERS IN THE LIMELIGHT CELEBRATION
Our Annual Teachers in the Limelight Celebration looked a little different this year being a 100% virtual event. AEF honored 39 outstanding teachers at its 8th Annual Teachers in the Limelight Celebration on April 29th.
The teachers were recognized and received monetary awards thanks to an endowed fund from Edwin Jennings, Jr., who wished to honor teachers by funding the Edwin and Agnes Jennings Teaching Excellence Awards.
Five overall winners were announced at the conclusion of the evening, and teachers of the year from each campus and nominees for science and math teachers of the year were presented checks. A new honor introduced this year was the Fine Arts Teacher of the Year presented by AEF and Abilene Philharmonic. For the second year in a row we also presented the Future Shapers Award, a $2,000 travel gift given by a local business, Uniqu3 Solutions. The award is provided to reward an outstanding, up-and-coming teacher in the district.
Check out the virtual ceremony from April. Thank you to so many of our wonderful educators for all you have done to make this school year special under very difficult circumstances. TLC Ceremony VIDEO: https://vimeo.com/416432158
