Besides the training classes, the Washington State PTA held General Meetings where they voted on items including amendments to bylaws and proposed resolutions, among other things. We had three voting delegates representing our PTA (Barby, Melanie & Nicole).
There were inspirational speeches, including one from Washington State Teacher of the Year and National Teacher of the Year, Mandy Manning.
During these meetings, our PTA was awarded four (4) Awards of Excellence over the weekend! Check them out here. We also received recognition for having 100% Staff Membership Participation!!
Thank you so much to the four attendees, for spending their weekend getting trained about PTA best practices and leadership - and for representing our PTA at convention this year.
