LWPTSA Council’s annual auction benefiting our scholarship program is back in person this year! Proceeds from this auction directly fund academic scholarships for graduating seniors as well as professional development for staff members in LWSD.
How does the auction work? Local PTAs and community partners donate fun, themed gift baskets, which will be displayed at the LWSD Resource Center. Silent bidding will take place during LWSD business hours (M-F 7:30 am to 4:30 pm), starting at noon on October 6 and ending during our closing reception on November 3. All community members are invited to come view our baskets and place bids to help support this important program!

The LWPTSA Sustainability Committee meets monthly and focuses on raising awareness around sustainable initiatives district-wide, sharing resources, and connecting with one another. Community members are always welcome.
The Sustainability Committee is made up of local chairs at schools across the district. The committee has worked on a range of issues, including food recovery, waste reduction, composting, green cleaning, no-idle zones, herbicide-free schools, and engaging and supporting students in their efforts to combat climate change and create a livable planet.
All local PTA leaders are invited to attend our monthly membership meetings held the first Thursday of the month during the school year. Each year three meetings are held in the evening. This year they are November, January and April.
In-person membership meetings will be held at the Lake Washington School District Resource Center in Redmond Town Center. The LWSD Resource Center address is: 16250 NE 74th St., Redmond WA 98052. Zoom meeting links for our December 2022 and May 2023 online meetings will be available in the Weekly Waves newsletter that all local PTA leaders receive.

Time change and special opportunity for November’s SEG meeting: We are excited to invite you to join the Seattle Special Education PTSA, Arc of King County, and several additional local nonprofits for an evening with clinical psychologist and New York Times best-selling author Dr. Ross Greene.
Dr. Greene will explain Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) as a way of supporting all learners so they can access their education. CPS provides an alternative to discipline practices that often create barriers for students in our schools. Following his presentation, Ramona Hattendorf, Director of Advocacy for the Arc of King County, will facilitate a Q&A with Dr. Greene. We are excited to hear from Dr. Greene and hope you are able to join!
