AWARDS
State
The
Awards committee prepares and submits applications annually for State
We are routinely a State PTA Standards of Excellence award recipient, meaning we operate our PTSA
using State-defined “best practices” and follow all laws governing non-profit
organizations.
Volunteer
Awards
The
Awards committee also solicits nominations for, evaluates and selects
recipients of the Golden Acorn, Outstanding Advocate and Outstanding Educator
Awards.
The Golden Acorn Award honors people who have
given exemplary volunteer service to children and youth in our school
community, and is an excellent way to honor PTSA members for their
contributions to our organization.
The Outstanding Advocate Award honors individuals
for their continued and dedicated advocacy for all
children and a demonstrated commitment to helping create strong policies
relating to the health, welfare, safety, and education of children and youth.
The potential award-winner could be a PTA grassroots advocate, teacher,
assistant, administrator or community member.
The Outstanding
Educator Award was created by PTSAs to recognize individuals who
have provided outstanding educational opportunities for children and youth that
are beyond the normal scope of their jobs.
An educator can be but is not limited to being a teacher, and can
include specialists, support staff, administrators or community members.
Each Golden Acorn,
Outstanding Advocate and Outstanding Educator Award recipient is given a gold
pin, his/her name is added to a plaque in the main office, and he/she is
acknowledged at a reception. Our PTSA
also contributes $65 in the recipient’s name to the Washington State PTA
Scholarship Foundation. These funds provide scholarships for post-secondary
students.
Nominations
for the Golden Acorn, Outstanding Advocate and Outstanding Educator awards are
typically solicited in late January. An
announcement will be on the Issaquah High PTSA home page.
