PCSD Weekly Notifications
August 8th, 2022

Many great teachers aren’t heroic by any desk-wobbling speech but by quiet, unembellished time with our youth. It’s measured in the hours we spend thinking about students or the minutes after class dialing in on a unit. People like Lakeview Elementary teacher, Linda Moser, stand out as a model for many for the many hours they put into teaching to ensure great care for our children, and we are glad to celebrate and congratulate her for receiving the Provo Way Award. Read the full story at provo.edu.
