Teachers' Treasures | Dream Big 2013

Pin It


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!

Event | Teachers' Treasures 2012 | Dream Big

Pin It Each time I work with this organization, I gain a deeper appreciation for teachers, as well as for those who support, help, and thank teachers.  For teachers are individuals committed to making this community so great by educating our youth.  This year, Teachers' Treasures vowed to Dream Big and create an absolutely spectacular event to raise funds and awareness for a great cause.  I read the following quote somewhere:  "Anything done for children is never a waste." (Unknown)  In fact, it seems that where children and their education are concerned, people take even more pride in what they do to help out in any way they can.  It was truly an honor to document this event on a rainy evening in April at the beautiful, electrifying, vibrant Children's Museum.  Every nook and cranny offers visual stimulation and excitement for all who enter their doors!  The evening started with a Silent Art Auction, with all art created by local students.  Cocktails and hors d'oeuvres were stationed throughout the venue for guests to enjoy.  Then the Awards Presentation followed, with David Harris winning the 2012 Caring Spirit Award.  The Teacher of the Year was awarded to Debra Samples.  The awards were followed by charismatic entertainment to cap off the night's event!  Let's take a look, shall we?  Friends of Teachers' Treasures can view the entire online gallery here!

For more information on Teachers' Treasures, check out their website.  Their mission may sound simple enough, however, it takes a dedicated team with a tremendous amount of effort to reach and surpass their goals.  And I just know that Dreaming Big will accomplish just that!  Barb, thank you for letting me a small part of something so special!  Congratulations to Mr. Harris and Mrs. Samples for their fine work in making futures brighter for so many!
