The Sedro-Woolley School District is seeking nominations for the Annual District Recognition program to honor those who have so graciously dedicated themselves to the Sedro-Woolley School District and the Sedro-Woolley Community. Nominees can be individuals outside or within the school district that have rendered outstanding service to the community or demonstrated loyal support and outstanding accomplishments in areas such as community service, academics, performing arts, or athletics. These exemplary efforts are recognized as going beyond the typical measures of accomplishment, and will be publicly honored at the District''s annual ceremony.
Selection Process and Timeline: Each year nominations are accepted from the community and staff of those who have made an impact in the lives of students and the community. A committee of past Sedro-Woolley School District Community Recognition Program members will review the nominations, and select next year’s inductees.
