Golden Acorn Volunteer, Outstanding Education Advocate, Golden Apple Educator Awards, and Outstanding Student Advocate Award.  

Do you have a teacher that has gone above and beyond in these early days to help your student? A staff member who has helped your child to feel supported as they navigate a new challenge? A PTSA representative who has hosted an event that’s gotten you involved? All of these people can be nominated for our annual PLMS Awards program.
