Parent Involvement Matters Award - A


2009 Parent Nominees

24 Local Semifinalists - 2009

The 2nd Annual Comcast Parent Involvement Matters Awards Celebration was held on May 8 at the Jim Rouse Theatre at Wilde Lake High School in Columbia, Md. During the event, Wendy Panor of Queen Anne’s County was named statewide winner from the five finalists. The other four finalists were:

  • Mark Lewis, Baltimore County;
  • James Carroll, Calvert County;
  • Brian Barron, Frederick County; and
  • Ann English, Montgomery County.

In a surprise announcement, Kristen Ruiz of Prince George’s County was named the first recipient of the JoAnne L. Carter Memorial Award. This award was conceived in honor of JoAnne L. Carter, Deputy State Superintendent for the Maryland State Department of Education, who was lost to cancer on February 25, 2009. Ms. Carter was dedicated to providing the very best education to all children. A parent herself, she also was a staunch advocate for parental involvement in education and was intimately involved with the Comcast Parent Involvement Matters Awards in its first year. The JoAnne L. Carter Memorial Award will be given annually to a parent that exemplifies all that she held dear.
