[Press Release] Thalberg Elementary School announces the recipient of its inaugural Partnership in Education (PIE) Award. This annual award was created to recognize a local business that has demonstrated exceptional commitment, generosity, and partnership in supporting the students, staff, and mission of our school.

The success of a PTO is made possible through the support of dedicated families, staff, volunteers, and community partners. Local businesses play a vital role in helping create meaningful opportunities and experiences for students, and we are grateful for their continued support.

Today, we are honored to recognize the three finalists for the 2026 Thalberg PTO Partnership in Education (PIE) Award:

⭐ Olympic Taekwondo

⭐ Savage Team Wear

⭐ Southington Orthodontics

After careful consideration, we are proud to announce Southington Orthodontics as this year’s PIE Award recipient.

We extend our sincere congratulations to Southington Orthodontics and our heartfelt thanks to all of the businesses that have gone above and beyond in supporting the Thalberg school community. Your generosity and partnership make a lasting difference in the lives of our students.

“It Feels good to give back and show what can happen when schools and small businesses team up” said Dr. Anuj Camanocha, DMD. “Being the first recipient of Thalberg PIE award is a nice reminder that these partnerships really matter for the families here in town.”

Thank you for helping us build a stronger school and community together.
