In 2004, the Washington State PTA established the Outstanding Educator Award, a new statewide volunteer recognition program to recognize and honor individuals for their advocacy work on behalf of children and youth. This award is given by the PTSA and recipients receive a certificate and pin and a contribution of $65 is made in their name to the WSPTA financial Grant Program.
This award is to recognize and honor individuals for continued and dedicated service to All children and a demonstrated commitment to helping create strong policies relating to the health, welfare, safety, and education of children and youth.
