Marjorie Holwick Wall of Fame

2022-05-03T20:14:30-05:00

  The Marjorie Holwick Wall of Fame is a special recognition program to honor educators, parents, students, and volunteers who have made special contributions in the lives of children. In 2002 the wall of fame was changed to the “Marjorie Holwick Wall of Fame”, to honor Marjorie who served as the Kansas PTA State Parliamentarian for 27 years, through 13 administrations. Members are encouraged to honor outstanding volunteers, outstanding students, as well as outstanding educators. The proceeds from these nominations become contributions to the Kansas PTA Future Teacher Scholarship Fund and Teacher Graduate Study in Education Fund.
