Each year, the IMESD partners with its school districts to recognize outstanding administrators, teachers, educational assistants and office and building staff for their dedication and commitment to students and for their willingness to go above and beyond their regular duties. Nominations are submitted over a two-month period by administrators, coworkers, parents, students and community members. Winners are selected from these nominations by school district administration.
“We congratulate each of this year’s Crystal Apple winners and are honored to celebrate these wonderful educators who are making a difference every day for students,” said Michele Madril, IMESD director of communication and print solutions.
The IMESD would like to thank the 2018 Crystal Apple Award sponsors: Mid Columbia Bus Company, Bank of Eastern Oregon, CHI St. Anthony Hospital, Elkhorn Media Group, First Community Credit Union, Red Lion Hotel Pendleton, Rotary Club of Pendleton and Wheatland Insurance.
