Seeking Outstanding Parent Volunteer Nominations
Deadline to Nominate:  October 5, 2012
thank you

 

We know that our PTA and our Foundation are only as good as our volunteers.  And we have fabulous volunteers! 

Please take a moment to consider nominating someone that you feel has gone above and beyond to making Nickajack better for ALL of OUR kids! 
Your nominee will get a chance to be recognized for their efforts in front of their children at the next school character assembly.   

Please note, while we do appreciate all of our PTA and Foundation Board Members, we ask that you only nominate them for contributions to the school that fall outside their core duties and responsibilities as set forth by their positions.  Not sure?  Then nominate them and we will make sure they're appropriately recognized. 

Nomination forms can be found HERE or on the PTA Website. Please complete the form, scan, and email it to Molly Talanczuk,  or drop to the front office for the PTA Mail Box.
