This is an all-island event and a great honor for a child as only three students are chosen from each school.
"The Giving Tree Award" will honor an outstanding teacher in each school as they give all there is to give to the students they teach. We will also be honoring this year's principal of the year, Susana Rivera of St. Agnes Academy.
