The PBL Education Foundation hosted the annual PBL Senior Awards Night on May 21, 2019 at the PBL High School.
The night began with opening remarks by Connie Ross, a 15 year member of the Foundation’s board.
She said, “The PBL Education Foundation was created over 20 years ago. Our single purpose is to raise money for all of our district schools. The funds raised are used for academics. The PBL Education Foundation’s mission is to provide all of our students access to the academic resources they need to become their best. The students we will honor tonight, are proof that we are fulfilling our mission!”
Throughout the evening a total of $56,000 was awarded to these outstanding seniors.
Stephanie Shively, Connie Ross, Leslie Cottrell and friends from Loda United Methodist Church provided delicious desserts and appetizers for the graduates, their families and other guests.
The 2019 Senior Awards Night was funded by A. Gooden Concrete & All Phases of Construction.
