Each spring, the Littleton Public Schools Joint PTO Scholarship Fund awards scholarship grants to support teachers’ continued professional growth. These funds, which are a result of a joint enterprise of individual LPS schools’ PTOs (Parent/Teacher Organizations), help teachers pay for special training or classes toward an advanced degree. All teachers in LPS are invited to participate and teachers who meet the requirements are eligible to receive a grant.

This year, 13 LPS teachers from across the district were awarded scholarships. We miss celebrating you in person and we commend you on being selected! 2020 Joint PTO Scholarship recipients are:

• Kristel Lunn - 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher - Euclid Middle School
