Congratulations to Sligo Middle School PTSA President Mr. Chris Rutledge who won the 2017 MCCPTA President of the Year Award last evening.
Chris – who is well-deserving of this prestigious award – was nominated by a number of the Sligo community members for all of his contributions to the students and families of Sligo MS.
For the last 11 years, Chris has been the consummate advocate for students – especially the children of the Down-County Consortia (DCC) schools – demonstrating a truly “sincere commitment” to our children, our schools, and our community. He has continually fought for equity with the Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) system and is continually an Einstein cluster-PTSA voice of inclusion, advocacy, support, and school/community spirit.
As a parent of two MCPS students, Chris leads through a “parent lens,” providing support for all students as he would support his own. Chris’ efforts and leadership has really encouraged the local school staff to continue our efforts to meet the needs of an evolving diverse community.
Chris has lead PTSA-sponsored events such as our Hispanic Parent Outreach activities, Town Hall Meetings that address the demographics of DCC schools, “Study Skills” Nights, Parent Support Programs and a wide array of PTSA-sponsored fundraising efforts. Chris has been the model leader, and through his efforts, really has helped to change the culture and environment of Sligo Middle School. To highlight Chris’ career within the Montgomery County PTSA, he has served as:

He has been a voice of inclusion, advocacy, support, and school/community spirit.
