Hundreds attend spring banquet

We had more than 380 guests at our banquet April 24, celebrating the 20 teacher award finalists (including 6 recipients), grant recipients, the Jan Jones Service Award recipient and the 2026 Golden Apple Outstanding Principal. Todd Wills lent his expert auctioneer skills to our live auction and our silent auction was held online. Guests also enjoyed dinner from GreenFire, a cash bar, a gift card pull and the opportunity to win a wagon full of more than $800 worth of varied beer, wine and spirits! The speeches were so inspiring! Thank you to all who helped with the event and all who attended. There are so many sponsors and volunteers who make this event possible in addition to presenting sponsors Bergstrom Inc. and Collins Aerospace, and we truly appreciate all the support.
