Curtis Campbell: Outstanding Volunteer/Golden Acorn
Maren Norton: Outstanding Advocate
Lori Woodfield: Outstanding Service
MOD Pizza - Lake Forest Park: Outstanding Business/Organization

We are grateful for their inspiration and spirit of service!

Awards Dinner on Wednesday, April 26th from 6-8:30pm in the Shoreline Room at the Shoreline Center

Nomination Templates

Individual awards can be solicited with a form or by email, depending on what works best for your PTA. Here are some rough templates to work with, if you like the idea of a form:
Golden Acorn
Golden Apple 
Outstanding Advocate

And here's Northshore's flyer for all the awards, if you want to copy this for a one-shot advertisement with email nominations. 

Leadership Academy is for volunteers to get credit for all their hard work on behalf of the PTA. This is the last year that you'll be able to claim ALL your years of service... starting next year, you can only go back and document the previous 2 years!

Standards of Excellence form for local PTAs to document adherence to best practices and potentially be recognized for it. Council would like as many Shoreline PTAs to participate as possible. We'll go through it together.

Here's the Council version of Standards of Excellence, so that Local PTAs can help us keep Council on track.

There are more awards to work towards. Visit the Leadership area of the Washington State PTA website, and look at Group Awards.
