A Golden Acorn Award is presented by a local PTA or council to a school or community volunteer in recognition of their dedication and service to children and youth. Since the beginning of this program in the 1930s, more than 54,000 Golden Acorn Awards have been presented to volunteers throughout Washington state. Smith Elementary PTSA is seeking nominations for volunteers that demonstrate an outstanding personal commitment to improving the lives of children and youth through their service to the school, district, and community. The Award recipient will be recognized at a district meeting/newsletter, will receive a certificate and pin, and have their name added to a plaque showcased at school. Smith PTSA will also make a small contribution in the recipient’s name, to the Washington State PTSA Scholarship Program which provides scholarships to selected high school students entering post-secondary education. You may nominate as many volunteers as you like.
