The annual Champions for Children Awards Gala on May 7 honoring individuals and organizations that have been outstanding supporters of education in Montgomery County has been expanded this year. The event will include a new award that will be given to the Montgomery County Public Schools Supporting Services Employee of the Year and the surprise announcement of the Montgomery County Teacher of the Year.

The four finalists for the county Teacher of the Year will be honored at the gala, and their work will be featured in short video biographies. The highlight of the evening will be the announcement of the teacher who has been selected to represent Montgomery County in the state Teacher of the Year program.

The gala is sponsored by the Montgomery County Business Roundtable for Education (MCBRE), the Montgomery County Board of Education, and the Montgomery County Council of PTAs. The event will recognize a total of 24 outstanding educators, staff members, businesses, and volunteers in Montgomery County Public Schools.
