Puyallup School District

Every day, office professionals are among the first people students, families, and staff connect with at school. Their kindness, compassion, and dedication to helping others creates school environments where everyone feels welcome and supported.

This week's Puyallup Praise showcases Northwood Elementary’s Denise Oatman, who was nominated by Madison Peterson, one of our district's substitute office professionals.

Madison shares: "Denise has the warmest heart and genuinely cares about the success and well-being of every student and colleague she works with. She consistently goes above and beyond to support others, always wanting the very best for both her students and her coworkers. Denise is truly a joy to work with, bringing kindness, positivity, and encouragement to every interaction."

Denise's caring approach and commitment to others makes a positive difference throughout the Northwood Elementary community.

Thank you Denise! And come back next week to see who receives the next Puyallup Praise!

Recognizing Flag Day on June 14

Observed annually on June 14, Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the United States flag by the Second Continental Congress on June 14, 1777.

The day serves as an opportunity to reflect on the history of the American flag and its role as a symbol of the nation. Communities across the country mark the occasion through educational activities, ceremonies, and displays of the flag.
