Golden Heart Award Nominations

5.Golden Heart Award Nomination

This prestigious award is for any individual who has "opened their heart" to touch the life of a Cherry Creek School District student with special needs. We are looking for people who go above being nice, being a good friend, or who are "just doing their job." We are looking for those individuals who are making a contribution and impact in the lives of a person or group of people who have special needs. This includes, but is not limited to, bus drivers, teachers, cafeteria workers, paraprofessionals, specials teachers (media, art, P.E., music), those in support positions, students, and community members. Each person who receives this award has gone "above and beyond" to support students with special needs who attend Cherry Creek Schools.

PLEASE MAKE SURE TO TELL A STORY OR GIVE A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE NOMINEE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND what would be expected of any individual in their position or job. The more detail, the better. Please give more than one sentence about the person and their contributions. Nominations will not be considered without this information. This information needs to be specific and detailed.

ALL NOMINATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY December 13th at the close of the business day (4pm). We will not be able to accept any late submissions. Each person or family may nominate one individual for the award, however, you may not nominate a member of your own family. Nominations for an entire team cannot be accepted.
