Each year our PTSA awards the Golden Acorn to individuals who have given outstanding volunteer service to the children and youth in our school community. The Golden Acorn is special and is an excellent way to honor our volunteers that have given continued and dedicated service that goes above and beyond! We greatly apologize for our late initiation of this process this year, but will be sure the recognition for the recipients goes above and beyond! It does mean our timeline is shorter as we would like to recognize these individuals in late May, so nominations will be due by April 29th, 2019. Please follow the links below to the nomination form in the format you prefer for submission instructions and the nomination form to complete. Thank you for taking the time to recognize some outstanding individuals! For questions, please contact Angela Ursino at angelaursino@comcast.net or Khanh Dang at khanhlove@comcast.net. {Click here to view/print the 2019 Golden Acorn Award Nomination Form} {Click here to submit your 2019 Golden Acorn Award via a Google Form} {Click here to view past Golden Acorn Award Recipients}
