A diverse group of Jeffco business and community leaders have rallied around Jeffco Schools Foundation’s fifth annual Love Our Schools Luncheon fundraiser to join in honoring retiring Columbine High School principal Frank DeAngelis with the Norma Anderson Lifetime Service Award.
Retiring Columbine High School Principal Frank DeAngelis is honored with the Norma Anderson Lifetime Service Award.
The award presentation is the keynote of the luncheon, which benefits Jeffco Schools Foundation, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 10, at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities.
“We have been overwhelmed by the community’s support of this event,” said Katie Tiernan, executive director of Jeffco Schools Foundation. “Frank truly embodies the spirit of the Norma Anderson Lifetime Service Award, and there will be a groundswell of support to say ‘thank you’ as he leaves Jeffco.”
