2018 Ethical Leadership Award winners congratulated

2018 Ethical Leadership Award winners congratulated

Ethical leaders know their core values and have the courage to live by them each day in all parts of their lives. That's what makes the Judith L. Snow Ethical Leadership Award -- presented by the District 64 Elementary Learning Foundation (ELF) -- such a prestigious accolade.

Named after a 25-year resident of Park Ridge and dedicated member of the League of Women Voters, the award shines the spotlight on one or more eighth grade students who are respected for leading by example.

"Ethical leaders are principled and lead with integrity, selflessness, dependability, caring and fairness," according to ELF trustees Kristen Quitno and Ellen Zywiciel, Judith Snow Award Committee Chairs for 2018. 

The 2018 winners were presented to the Board of Education and Superintendent Laurie Heinz at the June 11, 2018 special meeting, and include: (from left) Brianna Irizarry (Lincoln Middle School); Diana Tuebo (Emerson Middle School); Mia Lee (Emerson); and Leila Tannous (Lincoln).

All District 64 eighth grade students are eligible for the award.
