The Carlsbad Chamber of Commerce will celebrate excellence in education by honoring Carlsbad's teachers at its annual Outstanding Educational Program Awards Dinner.
The business community will come together to recognize the best and brightest academic programs at 6 p.m. May 2 at the La Costa Resort and Spa, 2100 Costa del Mar Road, Carlsbad. During the event, awards will be given in four categories, including best Adopted or Adapted Program, Entrepreneurial Program, Innovative Program and Science Program.
The evening also will honor the teacher of the year from each Carlsbad school and the overall teacher of the year from the Carlsbad Unified and Encinitas Union school districts.
“Considering the fact that educators are facing state budget cuts and fiscal uncertainty, this is the perfect time to celebrate the outstanding quality of education that Carlsbad students receive,” said Toni Padron, the chamber's executive vice president and chief operating officer. “This partnership between business and education illustrates the community's commitment to maintaining a high standard of education.”
Winners and finalists also are awarded funds up to $500 to put toward the programs, which range from teaching children how to cook nutritional meals to how to run their own business.
Help the Carlsbad Chamber and its Partners in Education Foundation toast a teacher by attending the event, sponsoring a school or purchasing a corporate table. Those who want to support education must register no later than April 18. Business attire is suggested.
The cost is $100 per person or $975 for a table of 10, of which two seats will sponsor award finalists. The price is reduced for school district employees; the cost is $50 per person or $500 for a table of 10. Businesses and individuals are welcome to sponsor a table for a school at the reduced rate. Event sponsorship opportunities also are available.
The extraordinary event will include entertainment provided by local students, a multimedia presentation of finalist programs, a reception featuring displays of Carlsbad school programs and a gourmet dinner at an exclusive resort. More than 350 people, including business leaders, educators, elected officials and community members, attended the awards dinner last year.
The program sponsors are LEGOLAND California, Invitrogen, Sylvan Learning Center, RAM Enterprises International, the Gemological Institute of America, CDS Printing and the La Costa Resort and Spa.
The Partners in Education Foundation is a private nonprofit fundraising organization that promotes and supports children in the Carlsbad area. Its primary purpose is to solicit and distribute funds for the benefit of public schools that serve the city of Carlsbad.
