Lauretta Woodson Recognition Awards
Purpose of Lauretta Woodson Recognition Award
A primary goal of PASR is the support of public education. One way that PASR and our Delaware County Chapter Educational Support Committee showcases our public schools in a positive manner is through the Lauretta Woodson Recognition Award program.
The purpose of the Lauretta Woodson Recognition Award Program is to honor one educator and one support professional for doing an outstanding job within a district or school. Our Chapter reaches out yearly to school districts on a rotating basis to identify the award recipients. Awardees receive a framed certificate, a PASR pin and a monetary award.
