For many
years, the BH-BL PTAs
have annually recognized one or more outstanding PTA
members as Founders Day Award winners. This is the
highest form of recognition given by our PTAs.
These special
people can be either volunteers or staff with the
Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake Schools. They are chosen
to recognize their years of service and their
notable dedication "above and beyond" the usual to
the needs of local students and families.
