Camp Fire’s Townson Is Apple Seed Award Winner

May 19, 2012

Pam Townson, director and VPK teacher for the Camp Fire USA Century Youth Leaning Center was recently presented the 2012 Apple Seed Award by the Early Learning Coalition of Escambia County.

The annual Apple Seed Banquet recognizes early learning education teachers.   Camp Fire USA in Century received a 100 percent grade from the Florida Department of Education for 2010-2011 under Townson’s leadership.

“Pam not only encourages parents to be fully engaged as genuine partners in their children’s development, she advocates that early childhood structure can provide school stability and greater consistency in learning, which leads to better school achievements,” said La-vonne Haven, executive director of Camp Fire USA’s Gulf Wind Council.

Townson credits the curriculum of the Florida VPK Standards and Math Standards along with Creative Curriculum, National Camp Fire USA and the Galileo assessment tools with providing researched approaches to learning about the outdoors, nature, science, and creative arts as well as providing fine and gross motor development, early math skills, language and literacy.

    Pam is very deserving of this award. Everyone at Byrneville Elementary appreciates the love and concern she gives to our future students. Pam and her staff do a remarkable job getting the PreK boys and girls ready for entering kindergarten.
