Each year, Discovery Elementary PTSA recognizes people who have given exemplary volunteer and educational service to children and youth in our school. The recipients of the awards promote the mission of the PTSA: To enhance the educational experience of children and their families by working in partnership with teachers, educational staff, and local community. In addition to receiving a certificate and a pin, a contribution of $75 is made in the honoree’s name to the Washington State PTSA Scholarship Foundation.
