2008 Illinois PTA Excellence in Communications Award
Illinois PTA created a new award this year to honor Steck PTA for outstanding communications. Our newsletter and website were deemed ‘excellent’ by state judges on all criteria. Steck PTA is the first in Illinois PTA history to accomplish this in both categories. This award commemorates that achievement.
