Ordway Education will be honored at the Minnesota Council
on the Teaching of Languages and Cultures with the Pro Lingua Award for our
support of education in world languages and cultures. This award is given
annually to a deserving organization that promotes and contributes to world
language education.
“You were nominated because of your Education Programs
which always feature a variety of world music and dance, your Global Arts
Workshops which allow students to explore cultures from around the world in a
hands-on way, and the performances you bring to the Flint Hills International
Children's Festival which allow students to experience music and dance from
around the world. Not only do you provide programs of exceptional
quality, but you work hard to make performances and activities accessible to
all schools regardless of socio-economic status. The bus reimbursements
and very reasonable ticket prices make it possible for all students to
experience languages and cultures outside of the classroom. “
-Kay Edberg,
MCTLC Awards Chair
From the ushers to the production team, this award truly
belongs to everyone at the Ordway whose efforts contribute to the success of
the school performances and Children’s Festival each year.
Kristie Gaalswyck and Erin Matteson will be accepting the award on October 18th
on behalf of the Ordway at the MCTLC annual conference.
