On Friday, September 30, 2022, LWPTSA Council together with Lake Washington School District (LWSD) hosted our sixth annual welcome event for families who are new to our school district. View the slides from this event here.
This was our first in-person welcome event since before the pandemic, and we were thrilled at the turnout. More than 120 people came to learn more about LWSD, PTSA and Lake Washington Schools Foundation.
I’d like to thank my fellow Council board members—Kristen Dorwin, Manda Mangrai and Jo Sampaio—who volunteered their time that evening and worked hard behind the scenes to make the event a success.
Many thanks as well to my fellow presenters: Shannon Parthemer, Johnny Phu, Kate Atvars, Myra Arnone, Dale Cote, Nancy Colburn, Sandy Dennehy, Dr. Shannon Hitch and Dr. Jon Holmen.
Finally, I’d like to extend a special word of thanks to Nothing Bundt Cakes in Kirkland, for donating four dozen delicious Bundtinis for this year’s welcome event.
With gratitude,
Yumna Green
LWPTSA Council President
