Our Wish List
Bishop Michael Burbidge and Msgr. Lewis
Among ideas on the Lewis Award ‘Wish List’ are:
As Endowment income allows, to significantly increase honorarium to Recipient and Finalists of the Excellence in Teaching Award and of the Lifetime Achievement in Catholic Education Award.
Increase Recipient and Finalists school honorarium proportionately and establish an honorarium for the Lifetime Achievement Recipient’s school of choice.
Provide an annual stipend to actively teaching Recipients and Finalists of the Excellence in Teaching Award and of the Lifetime Achievement Award, to purchase classroom supplies of their choosing.
Establish a Grant Fund to which Recipients and Finalists of the Excellence in Teaching Award and of the Lifetime Achievement Award, as long as they remain actively teaching or employed full time in the diocesan school system, may apply for tuition costs for continuing education courses, studies for advanced degrees, and/or other such enrichment programs.
