June, 4, 2009 - On behalf of Placentia Yorba Linda Schools, Maria Kline, outgoing PTA President, presented the district’s coveted Honorary Service Award to Christie Dembek, Fairmont International Academy Registrar. The mother of four boys, Dembek has served in a voluntary capacity at three schools in the Placentia Yorba Linda school district. At Woodsboro School, she served as the Vice President for Membership and Fundraising, increasing membership by 40% and clearing a fundraising profit of $18,000.00. Dembek also chaired the school play for the last four years at Bernardo Yorba Middle school. She was the Historian for Esperanza High School, and she has been the president of Esperanza’s Football Booster Club. "Mrs. Dembek’s most important contribution is her building of PTA organizations in the schools. Our PTA is buzzing as a strong organization. We have filled officer positions… with vibrant and positive parents. Christie encourages and develops this atmosphere," said Kline. The award ceremony noted a particular outstanding service performed by Dembek, that of organizing a group of supportive parents to build a garden at Woodsboro Elementary School in honor of third grader, Timmaree Hicks, who succumbed to cancer last year.
"To lose a child is beyond words. To gather parents together so we heal as a community is admirable," stated Kline. "We would like to thank Christie for all she does." |
