🧡 Sunday was a very special day as we celebrated and honored the seniors who received PTA and MPA scholarships along with the Fiorese Family Scholarship.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our PTA units for their hard work and dedication in making this event such a success. Special recognition goes to our outstanding scholarship chairs, Marilyn Paulis-Kneski and Cathy O'Neill, whose leadership and attention to detail helped make the day truly memorable.

The lobby looked beautiful, everything was wonderfully organized, and most importantly, our seniors were recognized for their hard work and achievements.

A special thank you to Christine Doyle Weih for putting together a beautiful program that will serve as a cherished keepsake for our seniors and their families for years to come.

Congratulations to all of our scholarship recipients! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see all that you accomplish in the future. 🧡🎓🧡
