The Golden Acorn is a PTSA award given every year to outstanding volunteers for their service to our school and community. The Golden Acorn specifically recognizes the contributions individuals have made at Cascade Ridge Elementary and within our local community. Congratulations to this year’s Golden Acorn Winners! We acknowledge and appreciate your commitment to Cascade Ridge and our community!
Nichole Wengert, Angie Lukens, Helen DiMeco, Ann Brooks, and Bona Park were honored at a reception held at Pacific Cascade Middle School on March 26th. When you see these deserving recipients, please give them a pat on the back and thank them for all of their hard work on behalf of our school and community – and look for their names on the Golden Acorn plaque displayed in the front hall of our school.
… Many employers match your charitable contributions to our school, but did you know that many of them also match your volunteer time? Many of our area employers--Amazon, Boeing, Costco, Expedia, Microsoft, Nordstrom, to name only a few--will pay our school $17 per hour for your volunteer time. This can be time helping out in your child's classroom and/or helping out at one of our PTSA sponsored events. This is "free" money to our school to support our programs and your children. So, if you are volunteering your time in any way, please check with your employers HR dept to see if they match volunteer hours and submit your hours today. Please contact our matching funds chair, Janet Jacobson at djj1909@yahoo.com, if you have any questions.
