Pennfield Schools - Learn. Grow. Lead.

🏆 Golden Circle Awards: Celebrating Our WHY! 🌟 At Pennfield, we are driven by our collective WHY—to inspire students to reach their full potential and make a lasting impact on their community. 💡💙 Each month, staff members can nominate colleagues who embody this mission through the Golden Circle Awards, inspired by Simon Sinek’s TED Talk. Nominees receive a certificate from either administration or the individual who nominated them, recognizing their dedication and impact. At the end of the year, winners from each nomination category are celebrated across the district! We are so proud of the way our staff lift each other up and celebrate our shared success as a team! 🙌✨ #GoldenCircleAwards #PennfieldPride #OurWHY #StrongerTogether
