Lew Roth Awards Dinner

The Simi Valley Education Foundation recently hosted the 18th Annual Lew Roth Awards Dinner where six dedicated individuals and one Simi Valley business were honored for making a real difference in our schools, in our community, and in the opportunities for our students. More than 200 colleagues, family and friends were on hand to celebrate with the recipients at this very special evening. 

The Simi Valley Education Foundation was formed in 1989 by Lew Roth, a Simi Valley School Board Trustee for 23 years. In his honor, the community, students, parents, certificated and classified staff, are asked to nominate worthy individuals for one of the six Lew Roth Awards – Management, Certificated, Classified, Volunteer, Special Education and Lifetime Achievement. Candidates must work or volunteer within the Simi Valley Unified School District.

Another award presented this year from the Simi Valley Education Foundation was the Legacy Award – an award chosen by the current Board of Directors, which is given to honor and recognize companies and/or individuals who have made remarkable accomplishments and substantial contributions to the students of Simi Valley and our local community. This award has only been presented one other time.  This year the Legacy Award was presented to Alcoa Fastening Systems for their involvement and contributions they have made and continue to make in our community.

Highlights of the evening included piano performances by Kaleb Erickson from Simi High School, and Kelsie Oberender from Royal High School and the Star Spangled Banner sung by Ashley Taylor from Simi Valley High School.

Here are additional photos from this special evening.
