The Montelores Early Childhood Council’s 6th annual Early Childhood Appreciation Dinner was held on May 27th at the Elks Lodge in Cortez, CO with almost 100 people in attendance. The theme this year was Building Excellence in Early Childhood, and the creativity of the MECC staff members who planned and decorated was unsurpassed. As attendees entered, they had photos taken in front of a mock city skyline, posing as either Rosie the Riveter or Godzilla. Entering the dining room, they were treated to a very awesome construction cake, and table decorations echoing the theme with trays of dirt and earth mover toys. Susan Lucas was nominated by the parents of the kids she teaches and received the Master Gardener Teacher of the Year Award. For all his great work highlighting the activities and philosophy of the Montelores Early Childhood Council and the importance of the early years, Tom Yoder of KSJD received the Voice for the Vulnerable Award.
Many center directors shouted out praises for the hard work of everyone in their centers. Tables played creative team games, using unusual materials to create unique stories. It was a wonderful time.
