PPSREA’s Rose Lindenbaum Award Committee

The Rose Lindenbaum Award is a tribute to the late Rose Lindenbaum, a Philadelphia educator and supervisor who focused on services for special education and at-risk children during her career.

The purpose of this award is to recognize teachers, principals, and building engineers who have demonstrated outstanding efforts in supporting a safe and nurturing learning environment, meeting the needs of all students.
