Founders Day Awards


 
 
Founders’ Day, February 17, is when we celebrate the legacy and work of our founders —Alice McLellan Birney, Phoebe Apperson Hearst and Selena Sloan Butler — to improve the lives of all children and families.
 

Founders’ Day is a time to reflect and take pride in our achievements, and renew our commitment to be:

  • a powerful voice for all children;
  • a relevant resource for parents; and
  • a strong advocate for public education.

This year we are celebrating 125 years of working on behalf of children and families. Our history informs our work. But Today’s PTA is vibrant and active and includes a network of millions of families, students, teachers and community members advocating for all children, youth and families.

 
Please nominate deserving PCR Staff, Parent Volunteer or Community Member for this award.  Nominations are open from November 1st - December 5th.  Thank you!
