Congratulations to Worth Anne Herrell, our PTA Volunteer of the Year!

The Volunteer of the Year is an award given to an outstanding volunteer the PTA recognizes for his/her invaluable contribution to Barksdale. Never before has there been a time in the PTA where electronic communications and social media has played such a critical role in keeping our Barksdale community together. Worth Anne has worked daily finding creative ways to help the PTA events and activities continue in a virtual world due to social distancing. She has become an essential member on every active committee.

Worth Anne has held the PTA Website Chair position for two years, before moving into her current role as VP of Communications. In this role she is responsible to oversee the PTA website, weekly PTA e-Blast, as well as Facebook, and the Remind communication platform. For six years she has volunteered for numerous PTA supported activities to include field trips, Field Day, grade level parties, Jogging Club, the Color Run, Multi-cultural Night, annual picnic(s), and Teacher Appreciation.

Worth Anne is married to Aaron and together they have two sons, Mack (5th) and Houston (2nd). When asked about her involvement she shared, “I am very honored to be recognized this way. Barksdale and the community have given just as much to me and my family. I am so grateful for all of the opportunities to volunteer as it has allowed me to better know the school, the teachers and staff, and allowed me to cultivate amazing friendships. I am thankful to serve… and proud to be #BroncoStrong.”

In these recent months, Worth Anne has helped us all smile through an uneasy time. Thank you for the significant impact you’ve made and congratulations on this recognition!
