CALLING FOR NOMINATIONS OF OUTSTANDING IMS VOLUNTEERS

Each year the Issaquah Middle PTSA presents the Golden Acorn Award to honor outstanding volunteer service to IMS students. Award recipients will be celebrated at the March 25th IMPTSA meeting and then recognized at a district-wide reception in April. The names of recipients will be added to the plaque in the IMS commons, and IMPTSA will contribute $48 in each name to the Washington State PTA Scholarship Fund.

Please consider nominating a special volunteer today. Nominees are scored using a weighted rubric considering volunteer service to their PTSA, the Issaquah Council, the District, and Community. Nominations are due March 6th!

Two ways to submit a nomination:

  1. Online here.
  2. Fill out the nomination form put in the white PTSA box to the right of the Health Room in the IMS front office. 

Send any questions to the Golden Acorn committee.

VOLUNTEERING AT IMS
 
We would love to have you consider volunteering at IMS.  All volunteers must complete the District’s online registration and be approved before they can volunteer at school.  If you were approved to volunteer last year, you still need to sign in to the District’s online system, complete the training, and update the required information.  Please remember there is a delay between completing the volunteer application and getting approval, so don’t wait till the last minute to start the process.  Click here to sign in.
