Averill Park Education Foundation Educator Award
The Averill Park Education Foundation Educator Award honors a teacher, coach, or staff member in the Averill Park Central School District who has made an extraordinary impact on students’ lives. Recipients of this award are well respected, not only for their excellence in the classroom, but also for the way they inspire, guide, and support students beyond it—through athletics, the arts, leadership, mentoring, and countless acts of encouragement. These educators give students the tools to grow, achieve, and strive toward becoming the best and highest version of themselves.
The 2025 Recipients of the Averill Park Education Foundation Educator Award are:
Michael Blostein (Averill Park High School / Music / Jazz Ensemble)
Sean Organ (Averill Park High School / Social Studies / Varsity Girls Basketball Coach)
