2022 JENKINS AWARD NOMINATIONS
NOMINATION CRITERIA AND PROCESS
Please nominate one individual who has given outstanding service to our young people, making a significant impact on their lives. This service could have been through home, work, or community involvements. Past awardees have included school personnel, parents and other community members.
Nomination Criteria Guidelines:
School Personnel (including administrators, teachers, coaches and staff)
- Someone who goes beyond the normal expectation of their job to provide an exceptional learning environment for our students. Consider how this person inspires students academically and personally and makes learning fun, beneficial and challenging.
- Someone who goes outside of their day-to-day paid responsibilities to provide services to our young people or performs their paid responsibilities at a level that exceeds expectations.
Consider also how this person links the classroom and the community.
Parents and other Community Members
- Someone who has given unselfishly and tirelessly. This person cares about children and has made their caring count by their devoted service. This person may be someone who is involved in many different aspects of our youth community or someone who has made a long-term commitment to making one program thrive in our community.
Remember those who work behind the scenes quietly serving our youth; bus drivers, custodians, the crossing guard...Does their example shine above the rest?
The Ardsley Jenkins Committee is a broad group of individuals representing many aspects of the community. However, it is possible that the nominee is unknown to the committee so please include sufficient insights and details in the nomination form to ensure the contribution to the community can be best appreciated by the committee. Additional sheets can be used.
Ardsley is fortunate to have many individuals deserving of the Jenkins Award, and the Committee selects only a few each year. Therefore, we ask you to not inform your nominee of their nomination, to avoid embarrassment should they not be selected this year. All recommendations are reviewed confidentially.
If you have previously nominated an individual who was not selected but remains deserving, please re-submit your nomination.
We will contact you in May with our decision.
