PORTRAITS OF SUCCESS 2008

Now is the chance to brag! At the upcoming Community Day School Network 2008 Annual Statewide Conference, “Celebrate The Promise,“ the CDSN would like to recognize and honor some of our stars. The CDSN is looking for outstanding students, teachers, counselors, principals, district level administrators and superintendents, classroom aides, office staff, school board members, probation officers, child welfare and attendance specialists—all of those who “Celebrate The Promise” and brought tremendous commitment and effort into making their dreams come true.

The stars are out there! In community day schools throughout California, there are many outstanding educators and students. There are also many CDS educators and students doing incredible work who have not yet had the opportunity to be recognized.

Please look at the attached nomination form, identify one or more CDS heroes, and submit a nomination.

If you have any questions, please contact Karen Pinneo at kpinneo@hemetusd.k12.ca.us or (909) 765-5187.

Join us in San Diego on January 13 – 15, 2008 at the CDSN Conference to publicly recognize and thank the winners of “Portraits of Success.”
