Founders Day

Founders Day Form

PTAs throughout California give Founders Day awards “in special recognition of outstanding service to children and youth.” The LCHS 7/8 PTA Founders Day Awards celebrate the achievements and dedication of LCHS staff members, parent volunteers, and/or community members. If you would like to recognize a deserving teacher, staff member, parent, or community member who has gone above and beyond in his or her service to the LCHS 7/8 school, please complete the form. The deadline for submitting nominations is December 5th. The awards will be presented at a ceremony on March 16th, 2023. Please take the time to nominate that special someone . 
 
Please contact Sheridan Sanders (foundersday@lchs78.org) with any questions.
