The Town-wide PTO Deirdre Volunteer Service Award 2026
The Deirdre Volunteer Service Award was founded in the loving memory of a devoted Abington Public Schools volunteer. Deirdre devoted many hours to Abington and its school community to champion inclusion, expand programming, and improve childhood education. She was a constant presence at PTO and School Committee meetings, where she advocated passionately for full-day kindergarten and many other programs and activities that benefited Abington students. Her legacy will lives on through this volunteer service award.
The Deirdre Volunteer Service Award will be presented to a caregiver annually for their voluntary participation in service activities that help improve both the Abington Public Schools and its community in ways that emulate Deirdre's dedication. Examples of this type of dedication include
· event creation or organization
· fundraising (creation, execution, organization)
· advocating for educational initiatives, school funding, or programming
· executing activities beyond the intended expectation
Click on the link below to make a nomination by summarizing the nominee's accomplishments in 500 words or less. Feel free to nominate as many volunteers as you would like for this award (submit a new form for each).
