Leander ISD's Faubion Elementary School Principal Honored

LEANDER, TEXAS — Faubion Elementary School Principal Bobbie Steiner recently earned quite the accolade, earning the 2018 Texas PTA Outstanding Educator of the Year award.

The honor in the Elementary Principal category was awarded in July at the Texas PTA's summer conference attended by some 3,000 educators, Leander ISD officials announced on their website. The honor focuses on the educator's success in creating a strong, family-school connection toward supporting student growth and success.

“I am honored and humbled to receive this award, as is comes from the very people I serve,” Steiner told school officials. “It means the world to me to have such a strong relationship with my Faubion community. ‘All Means All’ takes on a whole new meaning when you have such a connection with the students, parents and the staff.”

Mrs. Steiner was honored for her Texas PTA award by the LISD Board of Trustees at its regular meeting on Thursday, Aug. 23.

Faubion parent Suzanne Grover summed up widely shared sentiments in describing the teacher's attributes: “Bobbie has exemplified leadership in partnering with the PTA, parents and the community to advocate for her kids,” said Faubion parent Suzanne Grover. “We are a Title 1 school, but it hasn't stopped us from beautifying our campus, throwing community events and engaging parents, because Bobbie tirelessly advertises PTA and campus events to bring families together. Whether she's serving ice cream at our PTA meetings, being dunked in the dunk tank at Carnival or running with the kids at our fun run, Bobbie is always right there with us.”
