The Golden Apple Awards

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

The entire crew at Mark Loren Designs couldn’t be more proud to sponsor of The Golden Apple Teacher Appreciation Awards!

This year we had the honor of redesigning the lapel pin that the award winning teachers receive, and providing the trophies as well.

Mark Loren, Cameron Pelle (Gallery Manager), and Sara Edgington (Designer) attended the emotionally moving event.  Supporting teachers and recognizing their hard work ties in with or mission to support kids and kids’ charities.  It is our teachers who are on the front lines trying daily to make a difference in the lives of the children they encounter.  It was a beautiful evening and the teachers were amazing!

Congratulations to the Golden Apple Winners, and to the Finalists!

You are all incredible!
