Joy. Laughter. Gratitude. These are just some of the emotions that summarize The 2017 Succeeds Prize – an evening when Colorado educators and public schools received $137,000 for the impact they are leading locally.
We were thrilled to join forces with 9NEWS, mindSpark Learning, and Governors Hickenlooper, Ritter, and Owens to co-host The Succeeds Prize and recognize Colorado’s educators as the heroes they are.
We hope you will continue to join us in this endeavor to show educators across our state that we value their impactful work, we admire their commitment, and we are grateful for their partnership in future-building.
