Local Hero: Pamela Adams Quietly Makes Life Better In Rockville

ROCKVILLE, MD — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. We’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Maureen Byrne, who nominated Pamela Adams of Rockville.

What does the local hero do?

Just retired school counselor

Why do you believe the local hero should be recognized or honored?

She has worked tirelessly to help children (ages k-8 ). She retired pre-pandemic and returned to St. Jude Regional school to help the many students. She recently came back to the school after a sudden loss of a long term substitute teacher. She has worked over 20 years at this school. She has been instrumental in many students’ (including mine) post-traumatic growth during this COVID and post-COVID time. She has been a treasure to our school. It would be such a gift to publicly acknowledge her for her selfless work with students families and staff.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the local hero?

Her ability to make everyone (students, parents and our community) she meets feel respected and heard.

Thank you for all you do, Pamela Adams!
