Grasmick gets national PTA award

Maryland State Superintendent of Schools Nancy S. Grasmick was given the National PTA Life Achievement Award, the highest recognition by the PTA.

Grasmick received the award at a Maryland PTA conference recently. Debbie Ritchie, president of the Maryland PTA said in a press release issued today by the state department that it was given to Grasmick "in recognition of her hard work and commitment to the children of Maryland." Ritchie said Grasmick has helped increase parent involvement in schools.
