The Distinguished Athlos Educator award is given annually to three individuals who exemplify quality performance in the Athlos program. This year’s recipients were recognized at a reception on Tuesday, June 27 at Athlos Academies headquarters. Award winners demonstrate excellence in their classroom, on the turf, or within their community. Each of this year’s three recipients models a commitment to and understanding of the Athlos Pillars of Performance and contributes to the success of staff and students.
Athlos Academies celebrated their grand opening and ribbon cutting event on Friday, June 30. Close to 300 attendees gathered on the court of the newly renovated space to hear remarks from Boise Mayor Dave Bieter and Athlos Academies Co-Founders Jason Kotter and Ryan Van Alfen before a ribbon cutting, building tours, and a raffle.
“It says so much about this organization and what they are about, that they were able to see this through and not just to some completion but to this grand space,” said Mayor Bieter. “On top of that, having this in your city makes it so much easier to push people higher, to raise the bar on all of us to build great spaces in our city because it’s part of what it means to be a great city and to be a livable city.”
