The
PTA at Mount Tabor High School has nominated teacher Laurie Schaefer for the
2018 Governor’s Volunteer Service Awards.
People
can vote for nominees through Sunday April 8.
The
nomination for Schaefer says:
Laurie spends countless
hours serving Mount Tabor High School beyond her normal work hours. She manages
the school website as well as the remind system for parents. She talks with the
faculty and systematically makes a list of what resources teachers and students
need to make the learning environment more dynamic or meet functional
requirements.
Beyond that, Laurie
serves in our fundraising efforts to raise financial resources, whether setting
up for our Rummage Sale, or delivering bales of needles during our Pine Needle
Sale. Laurie spends time learning what the needs of our student body are, and
then she advocates for meeting those needs both by giving voice to it and
showing up to make it happen.
Laurie has been the
founder and initiator of many important academic traditions. She founded the
STAND Club which raises awareness of those people around the world who are
suffering at the hands of political and racial hatred. She also began the AWED
sophomore project which is a celebration of learning about an area of great
interest and then sharing it with the entire school community. Laurie coaches
our award winning debate team, started our speech & debate classes, and
takes students and parents on international tours over the summer.
Laurie has many special
skills in media and digital communication, and she works hard to make sure
parents know what's going on at our school and how they can support the
students there. Laurie builds creativity and resourcefulness into the academic
environments and challenges each of us to dig deeper to solve problems and
reach higher levels of achievement.
Schaefer is listed as Ms. Laurie Schaefer. So you will find her after Mary Alspaugh. To
vote for Schaefer, go to Volunteer Service Awards
