With Starfish Award nominations complete, the Special Education Foundation’s Women Leaders are busy reviewing submissions to determine our winners for the first annual Starfish Awards. This unforgettable event, dedicated to honoring the exceptional individuals who make a difference in the lives of students with disabilities within the Special School District of St. Louis County (SSD), will take place on June 13th at CITYPARK Soccer Stadium in downtown St. Louis. The opportunity to join us as a sponsor is now available!

The Starfish Awards: Making a Difference, One Life at a Time.

Inspired by the famous parable of the starfish, where a young child makes a difference by throwing stranded starfish back into the ocean one by one, the Starfish Awards aim to honor those individuals within our community who embody the spirit of making a significant impact in the lives of students with disabilities. These unsung heroes, whether educators, caregivers, volunteers, or advocates, tirelessly work to create positive change and foster inclusive environments where every child can thrive.
