Outstanding Teacher honoree Tamika Tolliver of PS 78 is a star in the eyes of the District 11 community.

It’s all about camaraderie as members from PS 83 get together during the cocktail hour.

Smiling is contagious for members from PS 106 as they surround their honoree, teacher Maureen Cahill (fifth from left, back row).

Everything is glitter and light.
