Seeking Outstanding Volunteers -
It’s Golden Acorn Time Again!
The Golden Acorn is a PTSA award given annually 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. This is an excellent way to acknowledge and appreciate someone who puts a lot of heart and energy into our school! Recipients of the Golden Acorn Award are given a gold pin in the shape of an acorn and a special certificate of recognition. In addition, their name is added to the Golden Acorn plaque displayed in the front hall of our school. Also, a contribution of $65.00 in the person’s name will be donated to the Washington State PTA Financial Grant Foundation. This foundation provides grants to freshman students entering post-secondary education. Golden Acorn Award recipients from all over the Issaquah School District will also be honored at a special awards ceremony early this spring.
Please help us select outstanding volunteers from the Cascade Ridge community to receive a Golden Acorn Award. Click here for a nomination form. The PTSA Golden Acorn Awards Committee will review the nomination forms received and make the final selections. Questions? Please contact Erinn Chapman at erinnmchapman@gmail.com.
Nominations are due in the PTSA box by February 14th. Thank you!
Caring Through Sharing
A HUGE thank you to all involved in the Caring Through Sharing program this year - with Chrisann Penz serving as the Chairperson for this important program for our community. It was a huge success with so many wonderful gifts donated to the Issaquah Food Bank. The staff there are so appreciative of all the donations. Thank you to the classroom reps, the delivery drivers and those that helped out on-site to organize the gifts. Thank you all for being part of this special program:
