Child & Family Resources S.H.I.N.E. Educator of the Year Award
Thursday, March 19th, 2026 | 7 to 10 pm In Person | The Mansion at Mountain Lakes
Child & Family Resources will be hosting our annual S.H.I.N.E. Educator of the Year Awards Gala, honoring four worthy professionals as Educator of the Year. The purpose of our award is to acknowledge educators who exemplify the spirit of CFR’s mission and values and whose professional practice and advocacy for the profession are deemed exemplary.
If asked to reflect on which educator had the most significant impact, we can easily recall who that person was. They worked long hours, went out of their way to motivate and inspire students, and made personal sacrifices. All too often they are over worked, underpaid, and rarely appreciated. In keeping with our mission to support the development of children and strengthen families, we recognize educators as essential partners. It is in this spirit that Child & Family Resources has created the S.H.I.N.E. (Serves, Helps, Inspires, Nurtures, and Excels) Award.
Join us as we celebrate educators across sectors and present the S.H.I.N.E. Educator of the Year Award to four worthy recipients. It promises to be an evening of social connections and a celebration of all educators. If you are a Child Care Provider, School District Teacher, High School Teacher, College Professor, Principal, Before or After School staff, Safety Officer, Guidance Counselor, Aide, or work with children and families in any capacity, this event is for you!
