ARGYLE EDUCATION HOLDS GALA FROM HOME #AEFGalaFromHome May 1-29
A
AISD TEACHER OF THE YEAR TO SPEND SUMMER IN STYLE THANKS TO PARK PLACE
A
s a supporter of the Argyle Education Foundation, Park Place has helped provide Argyle ISD students and teachers with outstanding educational opportunities. This year, they’re going the extra mile by providing the AISD Teacher of the Year with a luxury vehicle for his or her summer adventures. Nominated by fellow teachers, administrators, and community members, the Teacher of the Year is selected by a panel of independent judges from outside the District and awarded a monetary award from the Liza MZ Endowment (managed by the Argyle Education Foundation).
s one of the strangest school years in collective memory comes to a close, the Argyle Education Foundation (AEF) is taking the month of May to salute AISD teachers. “Each Spring, the Foundation hosts a Gala to recognize the outstanding work done in AISD and to raise funds that will directly benefit our teachers and students,” said Joelle Zavzavadjian, President of the AEF Board of Directors. “When safety required that we cancel the Gala, the Foundation shifted gears. We decided if we couldn’t physically go to the Gala, we’d bring the Gala into our homes through social media.” “Now more than ever, we recognize how fortunate we are to have the kind of talented and devoted teachers we have in Argyle,” Zavzavadjian said. “#AEFGalaFromHome is about Argyle families showing their support. We hope everyone will join us in celebrating them.” Tell us why you love your favorite teachers and why you support the AEF by posting to the campaign using #AEFGalaFromHome, #AEFSupportsTeachers, #ArgyleEducationFoundation, #ArgyleIndependentSchoolDistrict, and #TogetherWeAreArgyle.
