Welcome to the 5th Annual Heroes in Education Awards Dinner hosted by the North Valley Regional
Chamber of Commerce. We're thrilled to recognize 11 outstanding local education leaders for their
impactful contributions to their school communities.

The North Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce maintains strong connections with our local schools
through our monthly Education Connection meetings. These gatherings serve as a platform for schools
seeking resources to connect with businesses seeking marketing opportunities. While Education Connection
has undoubtedly benefited these schools, the true change-makers are the dedicated members of the school
communities, and it's truly exciting to pay tribute to them tonight!
These Heroes were nominated by students, parents, and colleagues for their remarkable influence on their
schools and the lives of students. From the countless hours spent preparing lessons, grading papers,
organizing events, and fundraising, to serving as a pillar of support, counselor, and mentor, they've played
a pivotal role in nurturing students' growth and confidence.

Tonight, we honor individuals across various categories including Primary and Secondary Principal of
the Year, Primary and Secondary Teacher of the Year, Special Education Teacher of the Year, Visual and
Performing Arts Teacher of the Year, STEM Teacher of the Year, Physical Education Teacher of the Year,
Parent Volunteer of the Year, Administrative Support of the Year, and Educator Emeritus.

These awards serve as a testament to the profound impact they've had on countless lives and the futures
they've helped shape. Thank you for joining us in celebrating these remarkable Heroes in Education.

Sincerely,
