Golden Acorn Award:
Each year our P.T.S.A. gives Golden Acorn Awards to people who have given exemplary volunteer service to children and youth in our school community.  The Golden Acorn Award is very special and is given for continued and dedicated service.  This is an excellent way to honor P.T.S.A. MEMBERS for their contributions to this association.

We would like all P.T.S.A. members to participate in the selection of our award recipient(s) through your recommendations.  Our P.T.S.A. awards committee will make the final selection.

You may pick up a nomination form in the School Office.  Please make your selection and then place it in the Yellow Box also located in the Main Office area.  The deadline for casting your vote is May 14^th.

  Plant Sale Update:
The plant sale was a huge success this year.  Thanks to all the volunteers who helped on Friday and Saturday.  Thanks to all the parents and Arbor Heights students who sold plants.

A special thanks to our sponsors:  Bel-R Nursery for the beautiful plants, Bon-Macy for the brochures, Liberty Bell Printing, in West Seattle, for the posters, Wild Waves, Papa Johns Pizza and Starbucks Coffee in Westwood Village.

Plant Sale monetary results will be announced at the next P.T.S.A. meeting on Wednesday, May 19^th.   See you there!!

Sincerely,
The Plant Committee:  Ramona Moore, Tamra Dewey and Beth Romeo
