Last night, the WISD PTA council banquet recognized schools and individuals for their hard work. Watkins was recognized for being only one of a handful of schools in the district who was able to obtain A Voice for Every Child - we received 100% membership for our school, thank you!! Our Hospitality chair Nyasha Dzashe was recognized as Watkins’ Volunteer of the Year - much deserved! And Lauren Plunk was given a brand new award from Council in recognition of her hard work as SAGE chair (she’s also our Treasurer!). Let’s give it up for Watkins PTA, we accomplished amazing things this year! 🙌🏼

Our Watkins PTA had so much fun celebrating our amazing staff with a little “build-your-own swag bag” treat station!

Each staff member got to grab a bag and fill it with their favorite goodies—because if anyone deserves to be spoiled a little, it’s them. From sweet treats to fun surprises, we hope it was a small way to say a BIG thank you.

Here’s to making them feel as special as they truly are!
