The Wildcat spirit was badly needed in the days after the fire at Eastern High, and Pam Dawson jumped into action. Pam, Eastern’s Parent Teacher Student Association President, went the extra mile by setting up donation sites for school supplies, organizing volunteers to staff back-to-school activities and setting up accounts to collect donations for the school. She reached out to Sportsplex to donate its facility, free of charge, in the days immediately following the fire so students would have a place to go during the day. According to Principal Travis Reeves, who nominated her, Pam always asks, “How can I help?” 

She is behind the success of the school’s open house and even worked the lemonade stands for thirsty parents. Because of her constant support to volunteerism and great Wildcat spirit, Pam is the December GCS Volunteer of the Month.

As the GCS Volunteer of the Month, Pam will receive a certificate of appreciation from the Board of Education and Superintendent Terry Grier. She will also receive a $25 gift card from American Express. Her photo will hang on a plaque at her school during the month of December.
