Highcrest Elementary School

We are proud to recognize Katie Kratzer as the 2026 WSPC Volunteer Award recipient for Highcrest Elementary School!

Katie has been a dedicated and integral part of nearly every PTO event and program, consistently going above and beyond to support the Highcrest school community.

Her attention to detail, organizational skills, and tireless work behind the scenes have made the event meaningful and memorable for students while successfully funding their end-of-year activities and easing the financial burden on families.

Through the dinner, students are given the opportunity to serve Highcrest families while learning professionalism, responsibility, and the value of service. Katie oversees every part of the event, from securing food donations and arranging decorations to guiding student participation and behavior.

Beyond the pasta dinner, Katie consistently contributes creative ideas, volunteers countless hours, and provides steady support across PTO events. Her commitment and dependability have made her an invaluable part of the Highcrest school community.

Kaleena has led fundraisers, planned and attended events, supported volunteers, and helped make sure the Charles Wright community has what it needs. Her knowledge and connections have helped secure donations for events that support the school, students, and teachers.

She has also been a consistent presence for WSPC, reestablishing the Movie Night on the Green/Cove tradition for the entire Wethersfield school community.

We are proud to recognize Sarrah Hughes as the 2026 WSPC Volunteer Award recipient for Emerson Williams School!

Sarrah is an exceptional volunteer and leader whose dedication has helped strengthen the Emerson Williams school community. She has not only helped keep important school traditions going, but has also brought forward new initiatives that support the school community through fundraising.

Currently serving as PTO President for the second year, Sarrah leads with humor, organization, and efficiency. She has taken the lead on several major efforts, including organizing the annual list of events, launching a very successful Purse Bingo, and leading the large-scale Savers goods drive — a time-consuming effort that takes tremendous planning and commitment.

Her steady leadership, positive attitude, and “let’s do it!” approach have helped make this another successful year at Emerson Williams. Sarrah’s leadership this year truly stood out.

Sarrah will be truly missed at Emerson Williams, but the positive mark she has left will remain. Thank you, Sarrah, and congratulations on this very well-deserved recognition!
