Cougar Ridge Elementary PTSA Awards and Recognition

Each year, Cougar Ridge Elementary PTSA recognizes outstanding volunteers, members, and educators who go above and beyond for the benefit of our students, through the Golden Acorn, Outstanding Educator, and Outstanding Advocate Awards. Each Golden Acorn and Outstanding Advocate Award recipient is given an award pin and his/her name is added to a plaque in the main office. Golden Acorn and Outstanding Advocate recipients are honored at a PTSA meeting and at a district-wide reception.

 Golden Acorn Award

The Golden Acorn Award honors people who have given exemplary volunteer service to children and youth in our Cougar Ridge school community. Recipients volunteer in ways that meet the mission of PTSA: promoting the health, welfare, safety, and education of ALL children.

Outstanding Advocate Award

The Outstanding Advocate Award honors an individual for continued and dedicated service to children and a demonstrated commitment to helping create strong policies relating to the health, welfare, safety, and education of children. Volunteers who speak for students, or who try to change things for the benefit of children are considered advocates. Nominees for this award can be a PTSA member, community member, teacher, assistant, or administrator.
