WHO ARE THEY?
 
YOU KNOW!
 
Send in your nominations for the MMEA 2012 AWARDS!
Read the nomination forms for the "purpose" of each award and give thought to the teachers, administrators, and community members in your county who deserve this special recognition.  The award recipients will be honored at a special luncheon in April (date and location TBA).  It is the hope of the committee that we will have nominee representation from all corners of the state of Maryland, from all grade levels, and all music disciplines.
 
PLEASE give this process your consideration.  We have had the opportunity to honor many wonderful award recipients in previous years and many of them have expressed that it was one of the highlights of their career.  Help us to identify those who deserve this honored recognition.  Review the criteria for each award and follow the "Things to Keep in Mind" suggestions.
 
Nomination packets are due by January 14th, 2012
 
If you have any questions regarding the process, feel free to contact me via e-mail at econfair@bcps.org
 

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:

  • Carefully review the criteria for each award
  • Answer all questions thoroughly
  • Ask PTA members and faculty/staff of the nominee's school to assist in the process – it's easier if you have help gathering the information
