The Pleasanton PTA Council is pleased to announce the 2011 Winners of the Excellence in Education Awards.
Honorees will receive their awards at the 21st Annual Excellence in Education Awards Ceremony on June 1st, 4 pm, at Trinity Lutheran Church. Friends and families of the honorees were welcomed to attend to celebrate their achievement! Refreshments will be served.
The 2011 Honorees are as follows (NOTE - photo is of the 2010 winners): David Middleton (Foothill), Heidi Burton (Lydiksen), Maggie Miller (Lydiksen), Erin Van der Zee (Hart), Melissa Klopatek (Mohr), Laura Randazzo (Amador), Judy Hansen (Fairlands), Susan Usedom (Pleasanton Middle School), Celeste Nava (Valley View), Jason Borris (Mohr/Fairlands), Dale Maher (Hearst), Cindy Martinez (Valley View), Lennie Olbrycht (Fairlands), and Susan Wells (Fairlands).
It was the Pleasanton Legislative Action Committee for Education
(PLACE) that started what became known as the PPIE award.
Some of the original members included Cindy McGovern, Juanita
Haugen, Sue Rose, Sandy Dibias, Mary Pat Hawkins and Judy
Ditter Wheeler.
This group of dedicated parents and community members originally
formed to follow bills that affected education through the
legislature. An idea was hatched to honor the outstanding
people in the school district -- both certificated and non-certificated.
After Pleasanton Partners In Education was formed, the PPIE
director, Donna McMillion picked up the baton and took over
the Awards, taking it to the next level in community recognition.
The last Excellence in Education Award under PPIE was given in 2004.
In the spring of 2007 the Pleasanton PTA Council and Pleasanton
Unified School District partnered to bring back the Excellence
in Education Awards.
