Each year, our Woodmoor PTSA gives Awards to people who have provided exemplary volunteer service to children and youth in our school community. The Golden Acorn, Outstanding Educator, and Outstanding Advocate Awards are very special and are given for continued and dedicated service.  This is an excellent way to honor PTSA members and teachers for their contributions to this association.  The recipient is given a special certificate. We also contribute $50.00 in the person’s name to the Washington State PTA Financial Grant Program.  This program provides grants each year to Washington state high school graduates entering their freshman year at a college, university, or vocational school of their choice. 
The entire Woodmoor community is invited to participate in the selection of our award recipients through your recommendations. The nomination period is usually held from mid-January to the end of March.  The PTSA Awards Committee is mandated to make the final selection of Woodmoor parents and staff members who will be honored. The PTSA Awards are usually given at the Volunteer Appreciation event in May.

 

2021-2022 Honorees

Golden Acorn Awards: Caroline Lupien, Christina Pierce, and Jen Rostrom

Each year, Golden Acorn Awards are presented by the Woodmoor PTSA to volunteers in recognition of their dedication and service to the children and youth of Woodmoor Elementary and our greater community.  A contribution in the name of each recipient is made by Woodmoor PTSA to the Washington State PTA (WSPTA) Scholarship Program.  From these contributions, WSPTA provide grants to freshman students entering post-secondary education.

Outstanding Educator Awards: Zina Card, Laura Peasley, and Mary Rawlins

This award recognizes individuals who have provided outstanding educational opportunities for children and youth that are beyond the normal scope of their jobs.
