In a testament to the power of leadership and advocacy, the Women Leaders of the Special Education Foundation have meticulously selected the deserving winners of the inaugural Starfish Awards. These remarkable individuals, chosen from across the Special School District and St. Louis County Public School system, embody the spirit of compassion, dedication, and inclusivity that defines our mission at SEF.
Our submitted nominations included not only special education teachers within the Special School District, but many came from retired and active SSD staff, general education teachers, and paraprofessionals. Furthermore, those who submitted these amazing nominations were students, parents, fellow teachers, principals, and district administrators! Each winner has been carefully chosen for their unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive learning environment and championing the rights of students with special needs.
As we prepare to unveil the names of these shining stars, we invite you to join us in celebrating their extraordinary contributions at the upcoming Starfish Awards ceremony. Our winners will be celebrated in front of community members and leaders, family, friends, and our wonderful SEF supporters and sponsors who help us champion students served by SSD.
