Student voices are powerful—and when students are members of your PTA, they’re not just part of the conversation; they’re part of the movement. To celebrate and encourage student inclusion, WSPTA is rolling out a new award this year for PTAs that are actively engaging with student members.
🎉 How to Enter:
Go to https://wastatepta.org/events-programs/awards/membership/ and enter all required information on the Student Membership Award application. Winners will be announced at the WSPTA Convention May 15th-17th at the Doubletree Hotel in SeaTac. Application deadline is March 12, 2026.
🧠 Why Student Memberships Matter
Including students in your PTA fosters leadership, strengthens advocacy, and gives young people a chance to help shape the school experience they’re part of. Whether your students are in middle school or high school, membership:
- Encourages civic engagement
- Builds community pride
- Gives students a platform to share ideas and help lead
🏆 Recognition + Rewards
Not only does your PTA gain from student involvement—you could win, too! The drawing winner will be announced this spring, and the winning PTA will receive a special recognition and prize package from WSPTA.
Let’s show students that their voices matter, their leadership is valued, and their membership is welcome. Start now by offering student memberships in Givebacks and inviting them to join!
