The Pappas Club

Mrs. Aubrey Pappas was a beloved teacher here at Linwood Middle School. She was loved by everyone who had the pleasure of being in her company. In addition, she left an everlasting impact on not only Linwood Middle School, but the outside community as well. She tragically passed away on October 8, 2014 leaving so many with an empty space in their heart.

​

With help and guidance from the Aubrey Pappas Foundation, the Aubrey Pappas Club will help in various events the Foundation participates in, immerse themselves in charity work (just as Aubrey did) and continue to keep her memory alive. The club will focus on the Aubrey Foundation’s hashtag #LiveLike Aubrey in an effort to promote the many amazing qualities of Mrs. Pappas.
