The Partnership Awards are annual awards given to 8-10 teachers and staff as representatives of all the excellent teachers and staff in Stillwater Area Public Schools. They are sponsored by The Partnership Plan, the nonprofit educational fund that gives grants to teachers with great ideas to make learning deeper and more meaningful for students in Stillwater Area Public Schools.
The recipients are nominated by co-workers, community members, parents and students and a review panel scores each nomination. The recipients were surprised in their schools recently with the news that they were being honored. In addition to the award, the recipients are each able to designate a $1,000 award from The Partnership Plan to the school of their choice. If you are interested in celebrating these phenomenal individuals and celebrating the impact of The Partnership Plan, please join us at The Partnership Party on Thursday, May 5th from 6:00-8:30 pm at Rustic Roots Winery.
