πππCongratulations to all winners and honored nominees of the 2021 S. June Pallack Excellence in Education Awards.
In 2016, the Pallack family created this award in memory of their mother and grandmother, a long-time Yuma educator, to recognize individuals other than classroom teachers for their contributions to educating children. Nominations are submitted by the community at large, including parents, students and co-workers.
Please join the Pallack family in celebrating this outstanding group who do so much for our community and our kids.
