AWARDS

Lauretta Woodson Recipients

The Lauretta Woodson Award is presented annually to a professional employee and a support staff member selected from Blair County school district on a rotating basis.

Recently the Woodson Awards were given to Kathy Morgan, an English teacher at the Altoona Area Junior High School and Doris Felty, an elementary school secretary at Juniata Elementary School. Both recipients will retire this school year. The presentations were made at the Altoona Area School Board of Directors' meeting.

The award in recognition of special contributions to education consists of a framed certificate, a medal, and a pin provided by PASR.
