Congratulations to the Dimon Distinguished Community School Award Winners
In addition to nationally-recognized speakers, state leaders, and award-winning schools, the Forum also included the naming of the 2008 Dimon Distinguished Community School Award winners. The ten Dimon award-winning community schools received the award in recognition of their work in implementing the community school model to its fullest and for meeting student, family, and community needs. The Dimon Distinguished Community School Award is accompanied by a $10,000 gift to be used to fund program components that schools were heretofore unable to fund.
