White Iced Celebration

 

The annual White Iced Celebration in early February is our signature event celebrating public education in Mesa County. It’s an evening to honor White Iced Award recipients and Outstanding Academic Growth Schools. This elegant event welcomes community members, D51 staff, friends of the D51 Foundation, and parents. The annual White Iced Celebration is always an inspiring event and loads of fun!
