The purpose of the Awards of Excellence program is to celebrate the work local PTAs and councils do to make a difference for their communities. Awards and programs also help build awareness of the WSPTA vision and mission. When local PTAs and councils are recognized for the work they are doing, it builds pride in the community and helps people connect with PTA!

Applying for these awards helps local PTAs and councils benchmark their efforts and become resources for other local PTAs and councils. Awards and programs also help build awareness of the WSPTA mission and focus.

Thank you to the many PTAs and councils that submitted applications for this year’s WSPTA Awards of Excellence! The passion and creativity demonstrated in the submissions of our award recipients serves as an inspiration for PTAs across the state. Congratulations to the following local PTAs, community PTAs, and councils on their achievements:
