NEW BERLIN – The New York State School Boards Association selected the Unadilla Valley Central School District as a recipient of the Champions of Change Award for its Students Honoring Veterans Program.
According to representatives from the New York State School Boards Association, the Champion for Change Award is presented annually to a current school board member, who, in the judgment of the NYSSBA Awards Committee, should be recognized for innovative and ethical leadership that brought about ground-breaking improvements in school district programs and operations.
Sandra Ruffo, Area 4 Director of NYSSBA, presented the Champions of Change award in-person at UV’s Board of Education meeting on May 11.
School officials said the award was given for UV’s long-standing Students Honor Veterans Program, which COVID-19 didn’t prevent last November. Officials said normally, it’s an in-person veterans ceremony featuring elementary student performances, music and artwork, followed by a Secondary School-run breakfast. They said this school year, UV held a drive-thru meal with students participating from a distance.
