Spring is coming and that means flowers will be in bloom. Now is the time to nominate educators for the 2022 Marigold Award. Each nominee will be recognized on social media and will receive a certificate, a marigold, and a special book.

Please nominate AND forward to your teachers so that they may do the same! :)
Jen Banks was a beloved teacher and school improvement coach who passed away as the result of a tragic automobile accident in December 2015. Her love for learning and the students that she worked with was an inspiration to many. Jen’s positive, supportive, and energetic attitude nurtured those around her and helped them to grow.
In celebration of Jen’s life and dedication to learning, ROE 47 has created an award in her honor. As Jen worked with many elementary and middle schools in the Sauk Valley area, this award is open to K-8 Whiteside County teachers, para-educators & administrators.
Marigolds exist in our schools - encouraging, supporting and nurturing teachers. They are leaders in their community, classrooms, and families. They have a love of learning and sharing that learning with others.
Help us to honor Jen and these exemplary leaders in your school communities.
This year's nomination form includes an opportunity to upload a photo and a video nomination message for your nominee!
Please nominate your “marigold” today using the link below by April 15, 2022.
