Mahoning Valley Educators

Incredibly opportunity for our areas art teachers brought together by Joy, Ashley, and our instructor, Dragana Crnjak.

The majority of visual art, instructors and specials in general are typically the only one within their building or department as a whole. Being able to collaborate at YSU Cliffe College of Creative Arts was incredible for each of us. Looking forward to many additional opportunities in the future.

With the Valley growing, we will continue to work towards shining the light on the opportunities our children have for the future, the businesses who are opening their doors, and the teachers building the foundation they will need to excel. Thank you to Guy Coviello and the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber for these moments to help shed a light on our Valleys schools.

Educators across the Valley are incredibly thankful to Guy and his staff for the belief and dedication to helping give our educators an evening of appreciation.

I don't know what we will do next year, but we promised to continue to do everything we can to make it as special as possible and continue to help it grow .
