Congratulations to Lantern Award winners Jim & Suzanne Heinle and Tim & Mary Moothart. Both couples have dedicated nearly 10 years of service to our mission and have gone above and beyond for our students countless times.
In 2023 we had some students who had unusual critical needs. We created a new Champion Award to honor those who dedicated significant time to these needs. Champion Award winners (some who are pictured above) included Catherine Bastin; Ana Contreras; Michelle Crawford; Catherine Douillet; Molly Englinton; Gina Guerrero Galvan; Char Goode; Marge Healy, PBVM; David Olson; Lana Santamaria; Sisters of Charity, BVM; and Laure Stoffel.

OUTSTANDING SERVICE AWARD
