This past Thursday I attended the Founder's Day dinner for our school district (one of the LARGEST districts in Upstate NY). I was honored at that dinner (yes, lil' ol' me) as a New York State Honorary Lifetime Member.
The New York State PTA Honorary Life Membership Award is given to individuals (not couples or groups) in recognition of superior dedication and distinguished service to children and youth in any or all of the following areas: home, school, community and place of worship. Nominees may be chosen from any area, are not required to be PTA members nor be well known beyond their own area of service.

I was nominated for our school for the award and was among an elite group of parents, teachers and staff from our school whom were also recognized with this award. The dinner was a great night out. Our PTA president said some really nice things about me (there was a resounding gasp! amongst the crowd when she mentioned the 6 kids - the oldest only in 4th grade).
I currently chair several PTA committees at the school and I teach in the winter after school enrichment program (Stamping). What a great honor it was to be recognized!
