Golden Acorn and Outstanding Advocate Award Nominations
There are individuals in the Cougar Ridge community who have worked tirelessly to make this school an enriching and positive experience for all of our kids. It is time to honor the individuals who dedicate so much time and energy into our children and our community. Please take the time to complete this form and nominate the individuals you feel have gone above and beyond in helping all of our children learn and grow and help make the Cougar Ridge community like no other. The nomination deadline is March 13.
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 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.

Volunteer Opportunities
We’re looking for parents and caregivers to join our PTSA Board or serve as Committee Chairs for next year — and the impact is BIG.
Being part of the PTSA means helping bring to life the experiences our kids love: school events, classroom support, enrichment programs, community celebrations, and so much more. Every role directly benefits our students and helps make Cougar Ridge an even more connected, joyful place to learn.
No experience needed — just a willingness to help and a heart for kids. Whether you have a little time or a lot, there’s a role that fits.
Your involvement = more opportunities for our kids.
Come learn how you can be part of the magic at our next General Membership Meeting on Friday, March 20th at 2pm or email Kim Beaudoin at service@cougarridgeptsa.org to learn about specific roles that are available for next year.
Interested in helping our Cougar Ridge PTSA? – There are many events you can help with such as Book Fair, Spelling Bee, Chess Club, STEAM Club, Science Fair, Art Fair, Reflections, Bingo, Gift-a-Book, and Staff Appreciation. Support roles are available such as webmaster and liaison to Issaquah Schools Foundation. A wonderful way to meet other parents is to help with Meet the Teacher and Kindergarten Playground Night. If you have a lot of time, please consider the Fundraising Committee. If you have a little time, we need help with the school's emergency supplies. Every role is important and any time you can give us is incredibly valuable and appreciated! Please reach out to Kim Beaudoin if you would like more info about any of these positions.
