Twice each year we offer the chance to recognize LISD educators through your donation to LEF in the name of educators who Change Childrens’ Lives. We promise to award grants of $250 to the Lewisville ISD elementary, middle and high school teachers who are recognized the most. Recently you, the supporters of LEF and of the tremendous educators in LISD, stepped up and spoke up, sharing your words of support and encouragement regarding the LISD educators whose work is truly life changing.
Your words of encouragement are sent to the campus principal in the form of a Changing Children’s Lives Award. The campus principal presents each award in a public setting, so each educator is spotlighted for his or her work with students, and honored by your encouraging words.
Marcus High School’s Dorothy Houck, Lakeview Middle School’s Ly Phan and Old Settlers Elementary’s Cassandra Weaver received the most awards at their level, and we surprised them when they returned to school this year with their $250 grant from LEF.
You chose to honor many of your favorite educators with these awards. Here’s the complete list of your honorees. Many of the educators listed below received awards from two or three or more current or former students.
