Re: BCEQ Annual Environmental Education Awards

Dear Bronx Educator or Environmentalist:

BCEQ is soliciting nominations for its Annual Environmental Education Awards. The first award was initiated in 1987 by one of BCEQ’s founders, Helen C. Reel, to honor civic-minded Bronx educators who demonstrate concern for posterity through their efforts to preserve the excellent, enhance the good, and upgrade the mediocre in our beautiful borough.

In 2010, BCEQ will recognize three individuals who have helped further the quest for a safe, healthy environment in which to work and play in the Bronx:

• BCEQ Founder Helen C. Reel “Keeping it Real” Formal Educator Award
• Gouverneur Morris Non-formal/Community Educator Award
• BCEQ Founder Theresa Lato Student Award

You can nominate people in any or all of the three categories (One nomination per form, please).  Send Awards Nomination Forms (BCEQEdAwardNomForm2010) to Dena Robins by May 21, 2010.

Sincerely,

Anne-Marie Runfola
BCEQ Education Committee Chair
