We are fortunate to live in a school district that encourages and supports parent/guardian involvement through volunteerism.
The D103 PTO is proud to present two annual volunteer awards, given in May.
Contact the PTO Vice President Aaron Jesser with any questions on these awards.
Scott S Guziec Volunteer of the Year Award
The PTO presents an award each year to a volunteer who worked tirelessly to dedicate their time and talents to our schools during the current academic year.
Anyone may nominate a deserving person for this award. All nominees and nominators remain confidential; however, nominations cannot be made anonymously. Although very deserving, the PTO President is not eligible for nomination.
The PTO has opened the nomination process for this award. Nominations are due by May 3, 2024. The winner will be announced in May.

Dawn Anderson Volunteer Angel Award
Each year, the PTO recognizes a volunteer who exemplifies the commitment of Dawn Anderson to District 103. Dawn generously volunteered for District 103, the D103 PTO and our community. We now award a volunteer that demonstrates that commitment.
The nominee must be someone whose youngest child is an 8th grade student so that this volunteer will be "graduating" from District 103. The volunteer should be someone who has committed his or her time over several years to our district, including volunteering for the PTO.
Maybe this is a visible volunteer who has led many PTO events or a quiet contributor that we could always count on to fill in when needed. Like Dawn, this volunteer should have an infectious volunteer spirit.
The PTO has opened the nomination process for this award. Nominations are due by May 3, 2024. The winner will be announced at 8th Grade Graduation.
