We had a wonderful night celebrating CLEF teachers at our annual Teacher Recognition Dinner! ✨

We are so thankful for the dedication of these teachers to their schools and students all year long, and this is our small way of showing our gratitude for all that they do.

Also, we love seeing how the schools have made the event their own with themed outfits! It was a night full of good food, crazy outfits, and heartfelt recognition. Thank you, CLEF teachers! 💙❤💚
