Kathy Briggs

“Kathy should be nominated the most caring business woman of the year.  She is the ombudswoman for Laurelhurst, Eckstein, and Roosevelt.

kathy has never sought even one minute of attention while doing the job of ten people.

I would say Kathy Briggs is a great role model for students and adults of what one does for community.”

Van Kantner

“Please consider Van Kantner for the Golden Acorn.  In addition to the stellar work she’s done as treasurer of PTSA, she’s also stepped up and managed the directory and all of the PTSA membership stuff.  Not to mention keeping us on the straight and narrow when it comes to PTSA rules and regulations.

She is truly deserving.”

“Van’s attention to details and knowledge of PTSA rules are invaluable assets to the Eckstein parent community.”

LauraLeigh Young

“She is always working hard to find volunteer for a myriad of things at Eckstein.  And when she can’t find enough people to cover things like school tours or catch-up cafe, she fills in herself so it ends up seeming like she volunteers for everything.”

“The Volunteer Co-ordination machine at Eckstein runs smoothly thanks to LauraLeigh.”
