Golden Acorn Will present up to 3 at the June General PTA meeting

The PTA Golden Acorn Award is presented each year to people who have given exemplary volunteer service to the children at Arrowhead Elementary and our PTA. It is a very special award and is given for continued and dedicated service. This award is an excellent way to honor PTA members for their outstanding contributions and to celebrate the difference they make in our Arrowhead community.

 

Honorary Life MembershipWill present one award at the June General PTA meeting

The purpose of the Honorary Life Membership is to recognize an individual who has contributed significantly to a PTA at the local unit, council, or state level.

 

Outstanding Advocate AwardWill present one award at the June General PTA meeting

In 2004, the Washington State PTA established the Outstanding Advocate Award, a new statewide volunteer recognition program to recognize and honor individuals for their advocacy work on behalf of

children and youth. This award can be given by a PTA unit, council, or region. Recipients receive a certificate and pin and a contribution is made in their name to the WSPTA Scholarship Program
