Lions Club Honors Patricia Holubec and Barbara Seger for Community Service


Lion Russell Duggins presents a Certificate of Appreciation to Patricia Holubec.

Lions District 2-S4 Governor Lion Ernest Opella attended the January 17th meeting of the Skidmore-Tynan Lions Club as they recognized high school principal Patricia Holubec and school nurse Barbara Seger.

Dr. Bret Belmarez, superintendent of the Skidmore-Tynan I.S.D. pulled some strings to ensure that Mrs. Holubec and Mrs. Seger would be present. Both of these ladies have been involved with the ISD for many years and have worked with the S-T Lions on various youth projects.

Patricia Holubec began her career at S-T I.S.D. as a Kindergarten teacher. Over the years Mrs. Holubec rose to the rank of Elementary Principal where she succeeded in raising the elementary to a nationally recognized Blue Ribbon status. Mrs. Holubec subsequently traveled to Washington D.C. where she was one of just six principals across the United States honored with the Terence H. Bell Award for leadership in education. Mrs Holubec has since been promoted to the position of High School Principal and is an invaluable asset to our school system.


Barbara Seger accepts her Certificate of Appreciation.

School nurse, Barbara Seger was also honored at the meeting. Mrs. Seger is responsible for compliance with state laws for vision and hearing screening as well as the general health of children attending the Skidmore-Tynan school. Her love for the kids that attend S-T I.S.D. comes from her heart and the assistance she has given the Lions Club is greatly appreciated.

Dr. Belmarez summed it up well, stating "Both of these ladies are so full of energy and dedication. Their hearts are as big as the world when it comes to 'their' children. We are so lucky to have these two ladies working on our campus."
