** Per our PTA Standing Rules, we need a PTA member (who is not on our board) to help sort through the nominees and decide on our winners this year! If you are interested, please contact Barby Taheri.

Standing rule #33 states:

"The Awards Committee will be established each year at a membership meeting. The committee shall consist of the previous year’s winners, a board member and at minimum one general member. In case of a previous winner being unavailable a substitution may be made at the discretion of the executive committee. Committee members are not eligible for an award. Awards are presented at a spring membership meeting. This committee may award Golden Acorn, Outstanding Educator, Outstanding Advocate and Lifetime memberships."
