11 Aug 42 teachers recognized for impact

August 11, 2015 — Forty-two Colorado teachers have been honored for the profound impact they have had on some of Colorado’s top students.

 The Boettcher Foundation recently hosted its annual Teacher Recognition Awards Program. The event allows each recipient of the 2015 Boettcher Foundation Scholarship to acknowledge the teacher who has impacted him or her the most. In the spirit of giving back to our communities, teachers who receive the honor are awarded a $1,000 grant from the Foundation to be used toward an educational program or project to benefit students at their schools.

“Colorado’s kids deserve teachers who are driven and passionate about the work they do,” said Tiffany Anderson, the Boettcher Foundation’s scholarship program director. “The 42 teachers selected by our newest Scholars have championed excellence in their classrooms, and we are proud to recognize them for helping our Scholars get to where they are today.”

The Boettcher Foundation Scholarship recognizes Colorado’s most talented students by providing them with a full-ride scholarship to attend a Colorado college or university, allowing them to build a Colorado network and use their immense talents to improve our communities right here at home.

This year’s Teacher Recognition Award recipients are:
