Bruce Paprocki Distinguished Volunteer Award

Hello again!

For those wondering, here's some more information about the Bruce Paprocki Distinguished Volunteer Award.

Bruce was an amazing volunteer at Highland View who unexpectedly passed away several years ago.  His contributions to Highland View and our community were amazing and the PTO chose to honor him by creating this award in his memory.

Each year, the PTO recognizes one volunteer who served our school above and beyond expectations and has that volunteer's name added to a plaque displayed in the office.

Eligibility:
Any person who volunteered at Highland View since the previous year's award was given is eligible to win.

Nomination Process:
Any PTO or school staff member can nominate an eligible volunteer by submitting a typed letter to a member of the PTO executive committee or the school principal stating:
1)  The name of the person being nominated
2)  The name of the person making the nomination
3)  A description of the nominee's volunteer work
4)  A short statement describing why the nominee should be the award recipient
The nominations must be received by the school principal or PTO executive committee by April 30th.

Selection Process:
A committee comprised of the executive committee of the PTO, the Highland View school principal, and up to 2 interested staff members and 2 interested at-large PTO members will consider the candidates and can choose a winner prior to the first PTO meeting after April 30th.  Selection of staff committee members is at the discretion of the school principal.  At-large PTO committee members will be elected at the last PTO meeting before April 30th by the attending members.

If the committee cannot or does not choose an award winner, the question will be added to the agenda of the first PTO meeting after April 30th.  The PTO may choose not to give the award in any given year.

The Award:
The award will be presented each year at the first PTO meeting after a winner has been selected.   The winner's name each year will be added to a plaque to be purchased by the PTO and displayed prominently at Highland View.
