Karen Parkinson receives national Award of Merit for her education writing for FCPS
Karen Parkinson, coordinator of information for Fauquier County Public Schools, received an Award of Merit in the excellence in writing category in the National School Public Relations Association’s 2016 Publications and Electronic Media Contest.
The competition, open to all public or private schools and education organizations, is held annually to earn national recognition for school communication efforts.
This year’s contest garnered 581 entries in the publications category, which were judged for “clear, concise and vibrant writing” and on the “overall excellence of the entry.”
Parkinson was one of 13 Award of Merit recipients nationwide. She received the award for a news release entitled “The Turn-About Teacher,” which detailed the transformation of Auburn Middle School teacher Ryan Wicka from troubled teen to successful educator.
