KAHPERD APPRECIATION AWARDS
  • Would you like to show someone how much you appreciate them?
  • Do you have a colleague that is an unsung hero and deserves to be recognized?
  • Do you have a student who has gone above and beyond to set themselves apart?
  • If the answer to any of these questions is "Yes," then you should consider giving an appreciation award. The awards are only $20 which covers the cost of production.
