Carefree Truth
Issue #987, January 4, 2022

Mayor Les Peterson expressed deep appreciation for all the work the teachers do for the children in our area.  The Mayor said this is the highlight for he and the other Council members.  "It's an honor and a thrill for all of us."  He turned the floor over to Councilwoman Cheryl Kroyer.


Ms. Kroyer noted that the Town of Carefree, in conjunction with the Cave Creek Unified School District (CCUSD), honors one outstanding staff member from each school or department each quarter of the school year.  Ms. Kroyer read the award winners' name and a short narrative about the honoree.  Each winner would receive an award certificate from the Town of Carefree and a Carefree Cares pin.  Because this meeting was held via Zoom, and CCUSD would also recognize the winners at its upcoming quarterly Governing Board meeting, the Carefree Cares certificates would be handed out at the Board meeting.  Each honoree would also receive a $50 gift card from the Town's notary collections, which are put into a pool and donated to a worthy cause.
 
 
The criteria for selection are that the winners volunteer substantial time and expertise to the school and/or the community; are a positive role model for the students, staff and community; serve as an inspiration to others; and always represent CCUSD in a positive and professional manner.  The selections were submitted by Principals and Directors at each site.
