RED APPLE AWARD It is our pleasure this evening to recognize an individual who has served the children of the Boise School District for 11 years. This person is truly an outstanding educator whose commitment and dedication to students is second to none. This person goes above and beyond the role of a typical speech and language pathologist through her dedication, commitment and support for students. She has taken the time to write a number of grants over the past two years to provide the Extended Resource Room students at Lowell Elementary School with hands-on learning experiences. Through a variety of field trips covered by the grants, students are given the opportunity to practice language, academic and social skills outside the classroom setting in a real life environment. These experiences have helped the students involved build confidence and develop appropriate social and community behaviors. These skills in turn help to teach students how to function independently in a community setting. The impact that these hands on learning experiences have had on the ERR students at Lowell Elementary can be described as magical as we have seen students blossom before our very eyes as they participate in the different structured learning activities. Tonight it is our distinct honor to present the Red Apple Award for October 12, 2015 to Alisha Scholer, speech and language pathologist, Lowell Elementary and North Jr. High schools, for outstanding service to education and for educating today for a better tomorrow. GOLDEN APPLE AWARD It is our pleasure this evening to recognize an individual who has served the children of the Boise School District for seven years. This person is described as the glue that holds his school together. This person works tirelessly to ensure a safe and orderly environment exists at Longfellow Elementary School. The most major (and minor) projects get done swiftly, thoroughly and most often quietly, without anyone even noticing. He often takes on responsibilities outside his job description and will tackle tasks to make the school more attractive and safe without being asked. - 1 - This person goes above and beyond to make sure the school is not only physically in order, but is also a place where people can feel safe and valued. He cares for every person, adult and child, in the building, including staff, parents and especially students. His smile is contagious and he is nothing short of a celebrity in the neighborhood. Tonight it is our distinct honor to present the Golden Apple Award for October 12, 2015 to George Morales, head custodian, Longfellow Elementary School, for outstanding service to education and for educating today for a better tomorrow. BOB WAND MEMORIAL ELEMENTARY ART PRESENTATION Retired Consulting Art Teacher Cathy Mansell presented Juniper Ammirati’s picture to the Board. Juniper’s picture was chosen from over 600 entries and will hang in its place of honor outside the Board room for one year and then will be placed with previous Bob Wand winners outside the Superintendent’s office. Juniper was a third grade student at Collister Elementary at the time of the painting. Juniper and her family received a duplicate of the picture presented to the Board along with a check for $30.
