The Issaquah PTSA Council presents 4 awards, as follows:

Golden Acorn Award

The Issaquah PTSA Council honors outstanding volunteer service for children by awarding the Golden Acorn Award annually. The nominees of this award have gone “above and beyond” in their volunteer efforts and have given exemplary volunteer service to children and youth in our community.

Outstanding Advocate Award

Every year the Council honors Outstanding Volunteer Advocacy for children by awarding the Outstanding Advocate Award. This award honors and recognizes an individual for his or her active advocacy work and commitment in helping to create strong policies relating to the health, welfare, safety and education of children and youth.

Outstanding Service Award

Occasionally, but not every year, the Council presents the Outstanding Service Award. This high honor goes to a person who has given dedicated and long-term volunteer service that positively impacts children throughout our community.

Outstanding Educator Award (Presented by the Board of Directors at the Spring Luncheon in May)

The Outstanding Educator Award was created by PTSAs to recognize individuals who have gone beyond the normal expectations of their job to make outstanding contributions to enhance the education of children. An Outstanding Educator can be a teacher, specialist, assistant, support staff, custodian, bus driver, administrator or community member.

All award winners receive the award pin and a special certificate from the Washington State PTA.

We would like you to participate in the selection of our award recipient(s) through your recommendations. Our Award committee will make the final selection.
