Congratulations to SHSD161 parent Barb Mazarakos on winning our inaugural Community Contributor Award! Each year, our Board of Education will honor a community member whose service to the district has gone above and beyond and impacted our schools, students, and staff.
For 11 years, Mazarakos has devoted countless hours to the SCOs of three of our district schools, as well as the 161 Band Boosters. That’s an immeasurable number of treat days, hot lunches, class parties, field days, book fairs, teacher appreciation weeks, fun nights, open gyms, and of course, the annual Spaghetti Dinner. Barb has a true talent for organizing events, mobilizing volunteers, and making the work fun, and SHSD161 is better for it!
