Last year the Little Miracles Auction Committee decided to incorporate into our annual event, the recognition of someone in our Community who makes a difference in the life of a sick or disabled child. We all know there are many heroes among us who work diligently on behalf of one or more children.

Last year Ken Eide, a Special Education teacher at Shadow Lake Elementary was presented with the first annual “Miracle Maker” award. Mr. Eide was recognized for his ongoing dedication to some of the most profoundly disabled children in Maple Valley. He was long overdue for recognition! A teacher who goes above & beyond with his care & nurturing of not only his students but their families, it was our honor to bestow upon Ken, along with an eloquently delivered introduction by Ty Tomlinson and a special appearance by Miss Peyton Tomlinson (one of Ken’s students) the 2008 Miracle Maker of the year award.

We welcome your nominations for the 2009 Miracle Maker of the Year award. Please either email or comment on this post.
