Golden Acorn

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. Note: Golden Acorn recipients may only receive this honor once. The Nomination Committee will present up to 5 at the last General Membership PTA meeting of the year.

Honorary Lifetime Membership

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. The Nomination Committee will present up to 1 at the last General Membership PTA Meeting of the year.

Outstanding Advocate Award

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. The Nomination Committee will present up to 1 at the last General Membership PTA Meeting of the year.

Outstanding Educator Award

The Outstanding Educator Award is presented to an individual who has made significant contributions in their community to enhance the educational outcomes of all children or youth. An educator is not limited to a teacher and may be defined as a teacher, assistant, specialist, support staff, administrator or community member. The Nomination Committee will present up to 1 at the last General Membership PTA Meeting of the year.

Nominations

Your submission does not have to be long but the more specific you can be about the contribution and why the person has made a difference, the better.

You can also email president@ptaarrowhead.org with your nomination.
