Teachers change lives. In recognition of that fact, La Lumiere School is excited to announce the winner of the second annual Excellence in Teaching Award. Students in grades sixth, seventh and eighth submitted nominations for teachers they believe have the attributes of an excellent educator, including dedication, innovation, depth of knowledge and caring for students. Over the past two years, over 100 essays have been submitted from 15 different schools across five counties. This year, we are pleased to announce that Mrs. Pat Steffel of Notre Dame Catholic Grade School in Michigan City was the winner. Mrs. Steffel will receive dinner and a movie for two, every month for a school year.
La Lumiere is pleased to be able to provide a vehicle through which young students can express their gratitude to those who make a difference in their lives. La Lumiere School would like to thank the following sponsors who joined La Lumiere in honoring this outstanding teacher; AMC Theatres, Bentwood Tavern, The Carriage House, Casey’s Bar & Grill, Fiddler’s Hearth, Red Arrow Roadhouse, Rodini’s, Stray Dog, Trattoria Enzo and Villa Nova.
