Lake Washington PTSA Council 2.8 was surprised and deeply honored to receive the Outstanding Secondary / Council PTA of the Year award at the 2025 WSPTA Convention.
LWPTSA Council has had a strong year of growth. We added a new college essay workshop to our council’s student programs; we leveled up our DEI committee to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging (DEIB), with deeper dives into challenging topics; and we launched a new advocacy skills initiative to help educate and empower PTA members and our community in engaging with district and legislative officials. We also facilitated a range of family and community engagement events, and we continue to support our local PTAs in Reflections, sustainability, emergency preparedness and our special
education family group.
Our LWPTSA Council team poured a great deal of passion into these programs and formed strong friendships in the process. Receiving the Outstanding PTA of the Year award was an exciting and rewarding capstone experience that reflected what we view as a labor of love. LWPTSA Council plans to apply the grant awarded by WSPTA in support of our student programs, including our annual scholarship program. We are so grateful to WSPTA for this recognition!
