Each year our PTSA gives the following awards in recognition of outstanding dedication to our community, students and families:

Golden Acorn – Presented to a volunteer who has shown dedication to and exceeds in service to the CPMS community. The Golden Acorn is the highest volunteer award given in a PTA.

Outstanding Service – this is the highest volunteer award given by the Washington State PTA. It is awarded to someone who has gone beyond his or her own school community, job, or PTA in order to give dedicated volunteer service to children.

Outstanding Educator – Presented to an individual who has exhibited continued and dedicated contributions and efforts to enhance the educational outcomes of all children. An educator may be defined as a teacher, assistant, specialist, support staff, administrator or community member.

Outstanding Advocate – Presented to individuals for their advocacy work on issues concerning children and youth. This individual will be an impassioned and compassionate leader, dedicated to advocating for the health, welfare, safety and education of ALL children, and committed to ensuring that others do the same. This award can be given to an adult or student.

Do you know an educator, volunteer or advocate that has gone above and beyond this year? Who doesn’t?! There are so many to choose from!

A committee will select winners from the nominations received. Those chosen will receive a certificate, a pin and a donation is made to the Washington State PTA Scholarship Fund in their honor.
