Officials say each program will be given a plaque and $1,000. They will also be recognized at OFE’s Academic Awards Celebration on May 4 at Embassy Suites Hotel & Conference Center in Norman.
“Each year, we are amazed at the creativity Oklahoma’s public school foundations show in building programs that deeply impact their schools and communities,” said OFE Executive Director Elizabeth Inbody. “With these awards, we not only honor these impactful programs but also provide a platform for sharing their successes in hopes of inspiring other school foundations to create similarly meaningful programs.”
