Dream Big 2014 | Teachers' Treasures

Pin It

I'm beyond humbled and honored to be invited to document yet another celebration for Teachers' Treasures!  Each year they present awards for Caring Spirit and Teacher of the Year.  This year's event took place at the newly opened (and beautifully renovated!) Willows on Westfield.  Teachers' Treasures mission is simple:

"Teachers' Treasures helps at-risk children 

get the materials they need to succeed in school 

by providing teachers with donated educational supplies 

for use by the students in their classroom."  

The evening started off with cocktails, dinner stations, and fun and games  as guests made their way through interactive stations for art, language arts, and math,  plus a photo booth!  Then guests were invited to take a seat for the awards presentation, prizes and wonderful entertainment by the Tommy Baldwin Trio!  A huge thank you to all of the volunteers who made the event flow seamlessly throughout the evening!

Congratulations to all award winners!  

Thank you for inviting me to be a part of Dream Big 2014!  Keep up the amazing work you do!

Just a few short weeks ago, I had the honor of photographing another amazing event for Teachers' Treasures at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis.  This was my fourth time documenting this event, and it never gets old! The people who make this event happen truly care about their mission, and it's wonderful to see!

"Teachers' Treasures helps at-risk children get the materials they need to succeed in school by providing teachers with donated educational supplies for use by the students in their classrooms."

And now for some favorites from the evening!  Event attendees can view the entire online gallery here.

Guests dined and enjoyed cocktails as they explored the museum exhibits. 

Then it was time for the evening's awards presentation. 

Congratulations to Teacher of the Year, Miss Natalie Unger!

Bob Moeder was presented with an Award of Appreciation for all that he has done to further the mission of Teachers' Treasures.  Congratulations, Mr. Moeder! 

Winner of the 2013 Caring Spirit Award, Dr. Woodrow Myers!  The Caring Spirit award is a prestigious one.  It serves "to highlight the work of one outstanding individual in the community who has significantly impacted the lives of at-risk children and improved educational opportunities."

Congratulations, Dr. Myers!

Debra Samples, 2012 Teacher of the Year, called the guests to Dream Big and to ask for their continued support.  

The band provided wonderful entertainment throughout the event!
