Bryant Volunteer Recognition Awards
Monday, 13 May 2013 09:38
Want to express admiration for a volunteer? Want to see the name of a teacher or staff member in lights? If so, please take the time to nominate them by Thursday, May 23.
Each year the Bryant PTSA gives several special awards to people who have given exemplary volunteer service to children in our community. The Golden Acorn Award traditionally recognizes and honors several individuals as part of a statewide PTA program. This year we will award a Golden Acorn to one teacher or other staff member and to one or more parents. The PTSA makes a contribution in the name of each of these individuals to the Washington State Scholarship Foundation. (The Foundation awards approximately $55,000 annually to high school graduates for post-secondary education.)
In addition, the Bryant PTSA traditionally honors one or more individuals with our local "Volunteer Extraordinaire" award. The award recognizes individuals who have made extraordinary contributions to Bryant during the past year.
We also honor Unsung Hero/Heroines.This award was created to recognize people who quietly, consistently and reliably do one job over a long period of time - one school year or several - or take on different tasks as needed and never fail to be there to do them. These folks are often working under the radar or behind the scenes but the contributions they make are incredibly valuable to the Bryant community.
Please complete and return the 2013 Volunteer Award Nomination (which was sent home via kid mail) in an envelope marked "Awards" and turn it into the office. Alternatively, you can send an email with your nomination to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Again, the deadline is Thursday, May 23.
The PTSA Awards committee will review all nominations and the volunteer recognition awards will be given at the PTSA General Meeting on Tuesday, June 11.

Hello Bryant Families! I am really looking forward to meeting you on registration day if I haven’t already!
Guidelines for Bryant registration day on Wednesday, May 15th:
- One family may register for up to 2 families only (example: a friend can’t make it to registration day because of work and you are bringing their paperwork in with you. You are registering your children and assisting your one friend’s family).
- Doors to the Laurelhurst gym will open at 6:00am for comfort purposes only. We will not be providing chairs, so please bring lawn or camping chairs for your comfort. Coffee, tea, light morning refreshments will be provided but please feel free to bring something to share (fruit, donuts, scones, muffins, etc are all welcome!).
- Children are welcome – we will have a game table, a drawing table, and outside play items available for use on our school playground. There will be no childcare provided; all LASER staff present will be available for registration purposes only. We ask that you use the South playground during this time as our AM Before school program will be in session.
- Registration will start at 8:00am exactly, according to the clock on Sequoia’s IPhone. At 9:45am, registrations will be received at the LASER portables at Laurelhurst.
- Registration materials will be available. We must have the following to secure your childcare spot:
