Upton Sinclair AWARD
Upton Beall Sinclair, Jr.
The award recognized outstanding individuals in the field of education. This year, we are again proud to acknowledge the contributions of nine outstanding people and one group who have contributed to the field of education, all of whom are great thinkers, motivators and believe children are important and deserve the best life has to offer. After all, no child has ever ask to be born. So therefore, as responsible human beings we must do what ever is necessary to make their lives meaningful, and give them the start in life that they so richly deserve. The following individuals met the criteria!
Upton Beall Sinclair, Jr. (September 20, 1878 – November 25, 1968), was a prolific American author and muckraker who wrote over 90 books in many genres. He achieved considerable popularity in the first half of the 20th century. He gained particular fame for his 1906 novel The Jungle, which dealt with conditions in the U.S. meat packing industry and caused a public uproar that partly contributed to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act and the Meat Inspection Act in 1906.

For the past two years, we have honored individuals who have contributed a great deal to the field of education. Many are well known for their work, some may have never enjoyed the spotlight. This year we have “stars” and more “stars,” all of whom have added to the well being of children in very significant ways. We believe there are those who contribute and never get the recognition they richly deserve. So here we go for 2007 with the list of true UPTONS!!

At the end of the year, it seems only fitting to honor our very own "Top Ten " individuals who have made a difference in education in the last year. Surely, there are others who deserve recognition, but the authors feel that the contributions of these ten nominees stand out as stunning exemplars of first rate care, concern and contributions to education.
