Congratulations to our May Board Award recipients! This month we honored the amazing volunteers who generously donate their time, energy, and talents to benefit our students, schools, and community. Their dedication helps create opportunities, strengthen programs, and provide meaningful experiences for students throughout the year. From classrooms and athletics to music programs and student services, these individuals continually step forward to support students in countless ways.
Boosters
This month’s Booster nominees are Ange Nicholson, Lisa Mendenhall, Krysta Crandall, Lindsey Halte, and Diana Garcia. These volunteers play an essential role in supporting school activities and events through their hard work and dedication behind the scenes.
Their contributions include preparing and serving concessions, working entry gates, assisting with fundraisers, coordinating Warrior Wear orders, managing sales and pickups, and shopping for food and beverages for concessions. They also dedicate time to reaching out to local businesses regarding sponsorship opportunities, helping strengthen partnerships that directly benefit students and school programs.
Their willingness to step in wherever needed has made a tremendous impact on the success of events and activities throughout the year.
Music Boosters
The Music Booster nominees are Lacey Hein, Helen Lau, Angela Steele, Lucy Temple, and Corey Williams for their incredible support of the school’s music programs, especially during marching band season and concert events.
During summer marching band camp, these volunteers help provide meals and support for students throughout the week. They assist with fitting uniforms and helping the color guard with costumes. During competition weekends, they arrive early and work tirelessly behind the scenes — packing trailers the night before, setting up camp areas early in the morning, unloading instruments and equipment, preparing breakfast before performances, and organizing lunch afterward.
Once performances conclude, they continue helping by tearing down tents, tables, and equipment before packing everything up again. This level of commitment is repeated during multiple Saturdays throughout the marching band season.
In addition to competitions, the Music Boosters support concerts by organizing raffles and prize wheels, distributing programs, and coordinating important fundraisers such as bake sales, Butter Braids sales, and the annual Jazz Café. Their dedication helps ensure students have memorable and successful experiences in the performing arts.

These volunteers have contributed countless hours throughout the school year to help create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment for students, staff, and families. Their support includes planning classroom parties, facilitating crafts and activities, assisting with BAM, supporting book fairs, organizing PAC-sponsored events, and taking on leadership roles within the school community.
Whether helping in classrooms, supporting after-school activities, running kitchens during PAC events, operating popcorn machines during fundraisers, or stepping in wherever help is needed, these individuals consistently go above and beyond. Their dedication helps make holidays, special events, and everyday school experiences meaningful and memorable for students and staff alike.

These individuals have made an important difference by helping students prepare for their futures through mentorship, guidance, and encouragement. Their efforts demonstrate exceptional communication, adaptability, resourcefulness, and commitment to student success.
They provide fellowship and support while guiding students through opportunities related to scholarships, FAFSA assistance, career readiness, and future planning. Their dedication helps students feel supported and prepared as they work toward achieving their goals beyond graduation.
We are incredibly grateful for all of our May Board Award recipients and nominees. Their generosity, compassion, and dedication continue to make a meaningful impact on our students, schools, and community each and every day.
We also recognize that there are many volunteers throughout our district who give countless hours in support of our students, staff, and schools.
