Each year Region 5 PTA leadership selects a number of educators, school/district staff members, and volunteers who exemplify the PTA’s values of teamwork, advocacy, and inclusion.
As with most years, Region 5 PTA leadership had a difficult time selecting the 2018 winners from a pool of highly qualified nominees. In the end, 18 awards were distributed in eight categories. We congratulate this year’s recipients. Thank you for your support of Granite School District students.
