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

It's time to recognize our fantastic Volunteers and Educators - you see them around the school, you admire their dedication, you wonder how they have time to do it all. Well now is our chance to recognize them for all they do for our school community. There is no better compliment than getting recognized by your peers. 

To nominate someone for these awards, please fill out the ONLINE FORM Award form.

• Outstanding Student Advocate Award 
  Recognize a student who has made significant contributions through leadership and service in their school and community.    ONLINE FORM 

• The Golden Acorn Award recognizes people who have provided exceptional volunteer service to the PLMS students, staff, or community. Our community is fortunate to have many volunteers who selflessly give of their time and talents to benefit our school. However, the nominees for this award work for youth beyond the scope of regular volunteering.   ONLINE FORM 

• The Outstanding Advocate Award recognizes individuals that actively support the causes of all children and youth. Advocates can be individuals who are active in legislative issues on a state or national level. It can be individuals who work with the District or with school administrators on student issues. Volunteers who speak up for the students who can't advocate for themselves or volunteers who try to change things for the benefit of children at their schools are advocates.       ONLINE FORM 

• The Golden Apple Educator Award recognizes individuals who provide outstanding educational opportunities, provide an engaging learning environment or go beyond the normal scope of their jobs for students that make learning fun, beneficial, and challenging.  This person can be a teacher, teacher assistant, administrator, custodian, bus driver, mentor, counselor, or community member.    ONLINE FORM
