Cedar Wood Elementary PTA is honored to have so many dedicated teachers, volunteers and students get acknowledged for their work. Congratulations Seawolves!!!
The Golden Acorn Award
The Golden Acorn Award is one of the most prestigious Washington state PTA awards. It’s given by local PTA members to acknowledge the services of volunteers, outstanding educators, and advocates who volunteer their time working with students and the school community. Recipients receive an Acorn pin, certificate, and an invitation to the banquet. Local PTA donates to the organization in their name. Recognition happens annually, and the community chooses the recipient through an online survey and voting.
