Congratulations to our 2013 Wave Award Winners for Nurturing Minds from the Ground Up

Thirteen schools and community organizations participated in nominating and selecting teachers to receive an award for "Nurturing Minds from the Ground Up".  Teachers were recognized at the 3rd Annual Wave Awards Dinner at the Rose Cafe.  Each winner was introduced by a principal, co-worker or family member and were presented with awards and gift bags filled with donations by local businesses.  Winners also received certificates from the 53rd District State Assembly Office and the Los Angeles School District School Board.  Special thanks to Google, Venice Paparazzi, Control Printing and all of our generous contributors and sponsors.
