On Wednesday, May 4, 2022, the BREA-sponsored Staff Recognition Reception was held in person for the first time in two years to honor the 2021-2022 Governor’s Educator of the Year and Educational Services Professional award recipients.  The gathering was well attended by staff, administrators, Board members, and family members as we joined together to celebrate the accomplishments of our recipients.

To those of you who were able to attend, thank you for joining us to congratulate our recipients who were most deserving of this honor.
