This month, PLCS educators from each school were recognized through the Fase Family Fund for Educator Excellence for going above and beyond for students. Established 10 years ago by Bob and Karen Fase through the PLCS Foundation, this endowed fund connects donor generosity directly to classroom impact. Recipients were selected by school and district staff and received $100 to use in their classrooms, honoring their dedication while investing in student learning.
