Where it all began

Sanders created the “Change Our School” award last year with the football program in order to recognize teachers and staff who deserved recognition for all they do for Vandegrift.
“We wanted to choose someone who challenges kids, works hard and at the same time connects with the kids,” Sanders said. “He’s a shining example of the great things that happen in out school.”
The team presented Meadows with a plaque, a bag of candy corn, a gift certificate to Olive Garden and a pair of Jordan sneakers.
“We don’t do anything super outlandish for the award, but we try to get them a nice little gift,” Sanders said.” Mainly just to recognizing the teacher and tell them we appreciate them.”
