Evening Of Appreciation

THE EVENING OF APPRECIATION IS AN ANNUAL EVENT HONORING OUTSTANDING TEACHERS AND CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES OF THE REDLANDS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT

Deserving candidates are nominated by their colleagues to receive this special recognition.

Outstanding teacher awards are funded by the Redlands Educational Partnership. 

Outstanding classified employees awards are supported in part by the Eric Jacobson Memorial Fund and the Redlands Education Support Professionals (RESPA).

SchoolsFirst Federal Credit Union provides additional cash awards to each winner. 

REP hosts this springtime event at the Harry J. Blackstone Theater on the Redlands East Valley High School campus. Floral arrangements for the stage are donated by Ann Marie Smith of Hockridge Florist.

The nomination process begins each January alternating between elementary and secondary levels. Certain eligibility requirements apply. The deserving candidates are then honored and the winners announced at the Evening of Appreciation celebration. The awards, courtesy of our sponsors, are presented at this time.
