"My Principal Matters" Award
The Wyoming Afterschool Alliance takes pride in sponsoring its 2nd Annual "My Principal Matters" Award to be presented to a Wyoming principal who has demonstrated their commitment to afterschool and is a champion in their school district and community.
We are asking all school-based and community-based afterschool program providers, directors, teachers, tutors and others involved in afterschool programs to consider nominating their principal. If choses, he or she will be introduced and honored at the upcoming 3rd Annual WYAA State Conference on Afterschool Programs in Laramie, WY during our Dinner Events on Monday, October 17, 2011 from 6:00pm to 7:30pm. In addition your afterschool program will receive materials or curriculum as our way of saying "Thank you!" and "Keep doing great work for kids, families and your communities!"
We believe that our principals are critical partners in helping us provide high-quality afterschool programs. It is with their committed support and leadership that makes the difference in programs, and assures successful implementation of expanded learning opportunities for our children. Together, we can support our mutual interests in assisting children to achieve success.
