Every year the Council honors Outstanding Volunteer Advocacy for children by awarding the Outstanding Advocate Award.

Outstanding Service Award

Occasionally, but not every year, the Council presents the Outstanding Service Award. This award is presented to a PTA/PTSA member who works for children and youth beyond the bounds of a job, PTA, or a specific school community. This honor goes to a person who has shown concern for all children across the district and who has volunteered his/her time to help them achieve their potential.

Please use this form to submit your nomination for the Issaquah PTSA Council Outstanding Service Award to one of the Awards Committee Members below.

Application deadline: Tues, March 12.

Outstanding Educator Award (Presented 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.

The Council Outstanding Educator Award will be presented at the PTA Spring Luncheon on Thursday, May 16, 2013 at Tibbett’s Manor.

(Return here to get a nomination form later this spring.)

(past recipients)

All award winners receive the award pin and a special certificate from the Washington State PTA. Their names will be engraved on a plaque in the Issaquah School District main office. The Council also contributes $65 in the winner’s name to the Washington State PTA Scholarship Foundation, which provides scholarships to selected high school students entering post-secondary education.

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.
