The Impact Awards honor individuals in the Boulder Valley School District (BVSD) making an extraordinary impact on student learning.
THANK YOU TO OUR 2022 PRESENTING SPONSOR
Each year, each of the 56 schools in BVSD choose an impactful person in their school community demonstrating exceptional collaboration, innovation, and dedication to our students.
A school community does not only include those who work in the building! Schools may nominate anyone creating a positive impact on the work and people inside their building, including classroom teachers, specialists, administrators, classified employees, or volunteers.
Impactful individuals show an ongoing commitment to professional and personal growth and have powerful, often life-changing, effects on students and/or the rest of the education community through unfaltering and purposeful effort.
This year, we’re relying on schools to host a celebration for their awardee in March 2022. We are here to help with resources and ideas, should you need any, and encourage you to collaborate with your school PTO/PTA. We will provide the Impact Award poster and plaque to all schools by March 1st so you can plan your celebration anytime that month.
We are planning to honor all 2021-22 Impact Award winners at a community-wide celebration in the spring of 2022.
Established in 2017, the Lifetime Achievement Award honors the legacy of one of our most fervent supporters, Blake Peterson. This award recognizes and celebrates an individual who, consistently over the course of decades, catalyzes positive change within Boulder Valley School District, and whose own passion for education and learning mirrors that of the award’s namesake.
The son of two educators, one a teacher at Whittier Elementary and the other a university professor, Blake deeply valued public education. He devoted his life to community service and supporting quality public education for all students.
The Blake Peterson Lifetime Achievement Award winners are viewed as leaders, mentors, problem solvers, and motivators of their peers and students, as demonstrated within the parameters of their role.
