It’s time to nominate for the PTA Founders Day Award!

Do you know someone who goes above and beyond for students in the Scotia-Glenville community?

The Founders Day award is given out to a member of the school or community who has dedicated themselves to supporting students. Every year each school chooses their own recipients. This person can be a faculty member, parent, coach, or community member. The most important criteria are that they put students first!

To submit a nomination, please complete this Google form by Friday, December 19. Individuals can earn this award a maximum number of two times.

Please note: the only person who has visibility of the nominations is Scotia-Glenville Founders Day Chair, Morgan Chimento. Once nominations are closed, each school’s Founders Day Chairs & Committees will review nominations. Individuals nominated will not be part of the selection process. If you prefer a paper nomination form, please contact scotiafoundersday@gmail.com or your school’s PTA Founders Day Chair.
