PCSD Weekly Notifications
August 8th, 2022
This week, we celebrate someone nominated not once but twice in the same month. It’s easy to see why she’s received multiple nominations: she exceeds expectations, she is available after the bell on a multitude of tasks, and she cares about her students and staff in a way that makes you want to be better. We proudly celebrate and congratulate Westridge Elementary School’s Facilitator, Megan Clark, with the Provo Way Award. Read the full story on provo.edu website.
Nominate a coworker that you feel is exceptional at what they do. Give them the recognition they deserve. Provo Way Nomination Form.
