Congratulations to this very deserving group of paraprofessionals at Pittsburg Community Middle School.

Sometimes, a single nomination highlights an outstanding individual and sometimes, it shines a light on an entire team making an extraordinary impact. After reading 8 heartfelt nomination letters, it became clear that the 8th grade para team at PCMS was more than deserving of the 2026 Globe Award.
The PCMS Admin team shared: “Together, this exceptional team brings 58 years of dedicated service to PCMS. Their longevity reflects not only their commitment to education but also the strong relationships they have built with generations of students. These paraprofessionals truly go above and beyond in their roles. They are among the first staff members to arrive each day and consistently create a welcoming and supportive environment for students. Their dedication extends far beyond their required duties as they give their time, energy, and personal resources to meet the needs of their students.
Linda, Melissa, Sherri, and Lisa are a vital part of PCMS. Their impact is lasting, their care is genuine, and their dedication is inspiring. They truly represent the spirit of the USD 250 Globe Award.”
We are incredibly grateful for Linda, Melissa, Sherri, and Lisa and the difference they make every single day. Congratulations to this amazing team of Dragons for exemplifying true !
