Comcast Parent Involvement Matters Awards
Glen Burnie, MDBen Brumbley, Wicomico County’s semifinalist for the Comcast Parent Involvement Matters Award, will be one of 24 semifinalists honored at the awards banquet Friday, May 20 in Glen Burnie, Md. A collaboration between Comcast and the Maryland State Department of Education, the Comcast Parent Involvement Matters Awards is the nation’s first statewide initiative of its kind – recognizing parents and legal guardians for their exceptional support of public education. Parents are nominated for demonstrating significant, positive impact in their education communities. The Comcast Parent Involvement Matters Awards Program recognizes parents from local school systems across the State of Maryland, nominated for their contributions in one or more of the five areas of parental involvement: Communication, Volunteering, Learning, Decision Making, and Community Collaboration. Brumbley is president of the Wicomico County Council of PTAs and a member of the Parkside High School PTA. The 2011 Comcast Parent Involvement Matters Awards will be presented during an evening celebration at North County High School in Glen Burnie. Five finalists and a statewide winner will be announced.
