2020 Emerald Award winners recognized recently for heart, leadership, innovation

Emerald Award winners in the 11th year of the Holyoke School District staff recognition program were honored recently in separate small award ceremonies in the junior high commons area. Pictured from left are Lynn Schneider, Heart Award; Christy Shafer, Leader Among Us; and Nic Balog, Innovator of the Year. Emerald Award recognition was postponed from the April 23 celebration plan due to the coronavirus shutdown. The special section of The Holyoke Enterprise that featured the three winners was published in April. TV productions adviser/teacher Kody Timm is preparing a YouTube presentation featuring the three award winners, including their individual celebration programs. It may be found on the Holyoke TV Production YouTube channel this week.
