She is the go-to person in the Administrative Services Center. She is the contact person for everything from scheduling meetings, historical information, School Board information, and office supplies. She is the person who orders snacks and drinks, and then arrives early to set it up, and stays late to pack it up. She helps with the reception desk, assisting Board members with Chrome books, and copier maintenance.

She and her husband, Terry, watched their daughters, Andrea and Niki, graduate from Ray-Pec High School. Andi and her husband, John, have 9-year-old twins, Kayson and Kensey. Niki and her husband, Nathan, have two daughters, Cici, 3, and Norah, who was born last week!

When the Foundation began in 1991, it existed more as a legal entity than as an active organization. In the early 2000s, the Foundation was re-energized with new Board members and a renewed mission and excitement for the future.

Pam has been an integral part of the Foundation’s growth and development.

She has the records from the Foundation’s early formation, when there was no paid staff member. She continues to serve as secretary and treasurer.

Keeping track of the organization’s finances is a job that has grown along with the Foundation.

In addition, she records minutes of the meetings. She assists Executive Director Jodie Huston in communication with Foundation Board members, Ray-Pec administrators and staff members, and the public. 

She is also a financial contributor to the Foundation.

Those are all ways that Pam’s support can be measured. But what cannot be easily measured is the time and heart that she puts into the Foundation and its work.

Pam completes hundreds of big and small tasks that make the Foundation’s work go smoothly. Here is just a sampling:

• Creating giant checks for the Prize Patrol
• Scheduling the review of grant applications
• Scheduling the Prize Patrol
• Planning the food, room set-up, and seating for the Teacher and Support Staff banquet
• Ordering banners and awards for the Teacher and Support Staff banquet
• Maintaining a donor list
• Ordering T-shirts for the MAD Dash
• Sorting T-shirts
• Collecting prizes and donations for this event
• Staffing the golf tournament registration table
• Organizing the Distinguished Alumni appreciation lunch
