MARGARET HARRISON: 25/26 PTO HONORARY SERVICE AWARD RECIPIENT

The PTO started the Honorary Service Award several years ago to recognize a PTO volunteer each year that has gone above and beyond in service for Waverly Belmont.  There is a plaque in the front vestibule of the school recognizing each volunteer who receives this award.  This year we would like to honor Margaret Harrison with the Honorary Service Award.  Margaret's son Will attended WB from kindergarten to fifth grade, and her son James will be completing 5th grade at WB this year and moving on to Middle School.  Margaret has been an instrumental volunteer over the years serving as PTO President among other key roles for the PTO.  She led the PTO out of the covid years and set the stage for the PTO to grow, creating the structure we needed to carry the organization forward.  There's no question the PTO wouldn't be what it is today without Margaret's leadership and volunteer hours.  Thank you so much Margaret for all you've poured into WB!
