The North Royalton PTA held its annual Founder's Night Celebration on April 17, celebrating the many contributions of our local PTA units for North Royalton, as well as the individuals who have gone above and beyond expectations to make a significant impact on the lives of the children in the school district.
The highlight of the event, held at the North Royalton High School Media Center, was the presentation of the Ohio PTA Achievement Awards to seven deserving recipients:
Maren Crucitt - (honored by North Royalton Middle School)
Michael Laub - (honored by North Royalton Middle School)
Eric Johnson - (honored by North Royalton High School)
Bridget Zywiec - (honored by North Royalton High School)
Michael Pecorao - North Royalton PTA Council
Debbie and Joe Jenks - Augie’s Pizza
"The PTA Achievement Award honors those whose contributions exemplify excellence and inspire us all to strive for a brighter future for our children,” said President Paula Nather, North Royalton PTA Council. “We commend the exceptional individuals from all units whose unwavering dedication, leadership, and service have profoundly enriched our North Royalton school community."
In addition to the Ohio PTA Achievement Awards, Cristina Hornik was honored with the prestigious National PTA Life Achievement Award on behalf of the North Royalton PTA Council. This highest honor from the nation's largest child advocacy organization is presented to individuals who embody a daily commitment to the well-being of children.
The ceremony was organized by Leesa Jacubenta and Robin Parsons.
"The Founder's Night Celebration is a cherished tradition that allows us to express our gratitude to the exceptional individuals who have made a lasting impact on our children's lives," said Superintendent Michael Laub, North Royalton City Schools. "We are truly fortunate to have such dedicated advocates for our students and their success."
The event served as a reminder of the vital role that the PTA plays in supporting the education and well-being of children in the North Royalton community.
