Parent of the Year Awards (POY)

Every December, we conclude with an awards ceremony recognizing the “Parents of the Year.” Parents or guardians are eligible for the recognition based on program participation, nomination from their child’s school and submission of two essays – one by the parent and the other by the child.  Honorees receive an award and personal computer system, among other prizes. Sponsorships cover costs of meals, honoree awards, honorees’ computer systems, reception and more.
