Board proclaims Educator Appreciation Days and honors Boettcher Scholar and nutrition staff
Summary
The Board of Education adopted a proclamation recognizing multiple educator appreciation dates for spring 2026, congratulated Boettcher Scholar Sophia Vasquez, and recognized nutrition services staff for the meeting meal; the proclamation passed unanimously.
The Board of Education adopted an honorary proclamation declaring Educator Appreciation Days to be celebrated in Greeley‑Evans School District 6 during spring 2026, listing Assistant Principals Week (April 6–10), Administrative Professionals Day (April 22), School Lunch Hero Day (May 1), School Principals Day (May 1), Physical Education and Sport Week (May 1–7), Teacher Appreciation Week (May 4–8) and School Nurse Day (May 6).
Director Lemos‑Garcia read the proclamation and several board members offered remarks praising teachers, administrators, nurses and other staff for their day‑to‑day contributions to student learning. The motion to adopt the proclamation carried on a roll call vote of 7–0.
Superintendent Dr. Pilch also introduced Sophia Vasquez, a senior at Greeley West High School, as the district’s Boettcher Scholar. Vasquez said the award recognizes her work founding The Supply Box Initiative, a nonprofit providing hygiene products, clothing and backpacks to people experiencing homelessness; she thanked the board and schools that supported her.
The board invited district nutrition leaders — D. Meza, Claudia Fernandez, Maria Saldivar, Madeleine Rocha and Jennifer Klein‑Bullock — to the dais to accept recognition for preparing the meal served at the meeting.
Why it matters: The proclamation is ceremonial but signals the board’s public recognition of a range of school employees and student achievement. The Boettcher Scholar recognition highlights a student pathway combining academics and community service.
What’s next: The proclamation duties and scholarship recognition are ceremonial and the board will continue with regular business at upcoming meetings.
