Nominate a teacher for a $10K award
Were you blessed with a teacher who noticed you, encouraged you, and challenged you? If you know a classroom teacher or informal educator doing outstanding work with our Jewish young people today, nominate them for the Helen Diller Family Award for Excellence in Jewish Education. Four awards will be presented in June 2009, recognizing an outstanding teacher of the Bay Area Community in each of the following areas:
- Early Childhood
- Day School
- Congregational/Community School
- Informal Education
Each award will carry with it a prize of $10,000 for the educator and $2,500 for the educator’s institution. Nominees must currently work in a program of pre-collegiate Jewish education in San Francisco, the Peninsula, Marin or Sonoma counties, Greater East Bay or Greater San Jose. Nominators must be a candidate’s current supervisor, school principal or institutional director. Nomination forms are available at www.sfjcf.org/go/education. For more information, call 415.512.6263.
