District 9 PTA Awards

💥 Congratulations to Simpson Middle School and the PTSA on the following awards given at last week's District 9 PTA Meeting. This is a huge honor and would not have happened without the support of our executive board, board of directors, staff and families. Thank you for your continued support!

🌟 Model PTA: A Model PTA provides a strong format and defines an effective process for family engagement, advocacy, increases membership and strengthens partnerships in the school community.

🌟 Middle School Outstanding Local Unit: This award is given to outstanding local units that achieve the PTA mission and purposes. We are so thrilled to announce that Simpson PTSA was given 2nd place for this award.

🌟Hearst Family School Partnership- Best Idea: Simpson MS received a shout out from District 9 that Simpson knows how to run a PTSA for Middle School.
