LASD Parents and Students,
Even though the Outstanding Staff Winners have been selected for the 2020-2021 school year (winners will be announced at the Opening Day Ceremony for staff on August 17th), we are still accepting videos recognizing anyone who stood out last year and really went above and beyond their duties.
If you would like to recognize an employee, please send a short video (no longer than 1 minute) and email it to Beverly Lang at langb@lasd.k12.pa.us by August 9th or share it with Beverly Lang via the Google Drive. Pictures holding signs of appreciation and recognition are also acceptable.
This could be a fun summer project for the entire family to recognize a special teacher in a unique and special way!
Thank you to everyone for your extra efforts this past year. We really want to show our employees how much they are appreciated from parents, students, and co-workers.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
