The Walton High School PTSA is proud to sponsor the Jackie Auerbach award. Members of the PTSA are well aware of the extraordinary contributions Walton Staff Members make on a daily basis not only to educate our children, but also to enhance their overall high school experience. One of the PTSA's goals is to ensure that these contributions are recognized. Therefore, we are encouraging all PTSA members to nominate a staff member who is deserving of this special recognition.
For more information about nominating one of our fabulous staff members, please click here. The nomination form is available for download at the bottom of the information page. All nominations are due by May 4th. |
