FOUNDERS' DAY

Every February (officially February 17), PTAs across the country celebrate the legacy and founding of the National PTA by Alice McLellan Birney, Phoebe Apperson Hearst and Selena Sloan Butler more than 120 years ago. 


Westlake observes Founders' Day by holding a recognition dinner every year to honor PTA members, parents, school district educators and other community members at large who have given exemplary service to the benefit of children or youth in the community. There are three awards for which community members can be nominated:

  • Ohio PTA Achievement Award - given to one member of each PTA in Westlake for exceptional service to children
  • Helping Hands Award - given to one member across all PTAs in Westlake for promoting the welfare of children and youth in home, school and community
  • Outstanding District Educator Award - given to a certified educator for exceptional service as an educator who promotes parent/teacher cooperation and supports PTA
