GATEWAY PTSA AWARDS

Gateway PTSA takes pride in all our outstanding volunteers and staff members that make Gateway Middle School a great school. What better way to thank these incredible individuals than to acknowledge them with one of the most prestigious awards available from Washington State PTA? These awards have been presented at Gateway to volunteers and educators for their outstanding volunteer service, advocacy work, and commitment to all children.
