COUNCIL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Everett PTSA Council 7.3 - Outstanding PTA Council of the Year!
|
|
At the Washington State PTA (WSPTA) Convention in mid-May, our council was announced as the 2021-2022 Outstanding PTA Council of the Year. This honor was truly unexpected but is definitely appreciated. When the 2021-2022 PTA term began, we had some returning board members and some new board members. Between the previous PTA term and this term, our council board went from having longest-tenured members being 5-10+ years in council to all members being 0-3 years in council this term. But although this was a fairly inexperienced group in regard to direct involvement in a council board, each person brought an array of experience from the local PTA level and a commitment to providing support to our local PTAs. We learned from each other, a lot of fresh ideas were explored, and we all came together as a team.
This team worked exceptionally hard to set a good example for our local PTAs and supporters. Did all of our ideas and plans work as expected? No. Are there opportunities for improvement and further growth? Definitely. But our mutual respect for each other, while trying to maintain best practices and provide assistance where needed, led to many successes for this team.
This team's commitment to teamwork, communication, and recognition for our volunteers and supporters were exceptional. We worked with local PTAs to provide guidance and support throughout the entire PTA term. We also applied for all seven WSPTA Awards of Excellence, achieving top level in each of them (Platinum Level for Standards of Excellence, and Gold Level for Outstanding Communication Strategy, PTAs Taking Significant Action, Advocacy, Family and Community Engagement, Outstanding Newsletter, and Outstanding Website). Our council reached Platinum membership growth. We passed our first-ever Council Resolution, one which demonstrates a commitment to environmental sustainability. We worked with the school district to provide families and community members with multi-lingual resources. We collaborated with PTA leaders not only within our own district but also other districts and Regions.
But none of this would have been possible without YOU. Everyone from our Council Board of Directors to our local PTA leaders to our school & district staff members to the children, families, and community members to our supporters made ALL of the successes possible this school year. To be "Outstanding PTA Council of the Year" is not an individual achievement; we share this honor with all of you. For your ongoing support, THANK YOU.
