The gift of time is precious, and volunteers are truly generous when it comes to investing this valuable resource in our schools and with our students.
The Volunteer of the Year program acknowledges the crucial role school volunteers play in students’ lives and how they enrich our schools with their selfless dedication.
Awards are bestowed at the elementary and secondary level in the following categories: “Adult Volunteer of the Year,” “Youth Volunteer of the Year” and “Senior Volunteer of the Year.” These winners are selected from among more than 100 people named “Volunteers of the Year” at their respective schools.
The Volunteer of the Year Awards Program is sponsored by MIDFLORIDA Credit Union.
This year, the district’s Volunteers of the Year were honored with surprise recognitions at each volunteer’s school. Each was selected by a panel of judges, chosen from the Volunteers of the Year at individual schools.
Each winner received a generous package of gifts. Thank you to our title sponsor, MIDFLORIDA Credit Union, as well as our gift sponsors, Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa and the Lakeland Magic.
“I am honored to celebrate you and your efforts,” said MidFlorida Senior Vice President/West Regional Manager Ryan Rogers, in a statement to the district’s Volunteers of the Year.
“On behalf of MidFlorida Credit Union, we’d like to thank you for your incredible dedication and service to our students and schools, and for being real-life superheroes to many of our children. As you know, our schools need role models like you to build our future leaders.”
