Awards Co-Chairs Christine Kennedy and Terri Emmert announced Niagara Region awards at our Spring Conference on May 7. Congratulations to Jackson Rodriguez from Lewiston-Porter PTSA on receiving the Youth Humanitarian Award in Memory of Stanley Marcus for Niagara Region! Kudos to Jay Grover from Grand Island High School PTSA on being awarded the Special Service Award in Honor of Walter Potocki!

Our traveling Reflections Art Gallery was on display at our Spring Conference. We love featuring the Niagara Region Reflections entries and giving our students another chance to shine. It also gave us a chance to share the 2026-2027 theme: What My Culture Means to Me.

Our Spring Conference ended with laughter and fun as Region Membership Chair Jackie Castillo-Blaber presented awards. At first, people were hesitant to come up for a picture, but the enthusiasm grew as we cheered each other on....and Council PTA Presidents made a few appearances to collect awards for their units. ⭐

We're excited to gather our Niagara Region PTA leaders and take a road trip to Albany for Camp PTA at SLC! Save the date and plan to join us July 18-19.
