Recipients of 2026 Guiding Light Award

The Elora J. Khan Foundation is proud to share that the 2026 Guiding Light Award was awarded to Mrs. Deanna Hill and Mrs. Kristen Bonner.

This honor recognizes individuals within the Saint Anastasia School community who shine God’s light brightly and embody excellence in character and service. Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Bonner exemplify these qualities each day through their compassion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to their students. Mrs. Hill creates a nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow, while Mrs. Bonner inspires students through music and faith, helping them discover their gifts and share them with confidence and joy. Together, they reflect Elora’s mission to share the love of Jesus through meaningful “God Moments.”

Their impact reaches far beyond the classroom, leaving a lasting imprint on the hearts of all they serve. Please join us in celebrating these extraordinary educators and the light they bring to our community.

May their dedication to embodying and sharing God's light serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration. May God’s Light illuminate through her for generations to come.

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give gloryto your Father who is in heaven. - Matthew 5:16
