PTA Updates, April 14th 2020

Hello Sacajaweans,

Congratulations, we've made it through our first weeks of remote learning and arrived at Spring Break (whatever that means)! As the district and our own school continue to evolve how our learning process works, we'd encourage you to provide feedback, both positive and constructive, to your teachers and Principal Friesen. We're also available to listen if you have ways that we might help as a PTA.

Thank you to all of our PTA volunteers who continue to support our community through donations of time, food, and dollars. Your contributions are helping make a difference in the lives of those around you.

Sincerely,

Seth Bridges & Ara Swanson Merkens
Sacajawea PTA Co-chairs

Update: Spring Auction Canceled 

From our Auction Team

With the latest guidance from the Governor, CDC, and King County Public health, it has become clear that we won't be able to have our Spring Auction this school year. We were looking forward to celebrating with you all, and though we're disappointed, it's the right call.

Our venue owners generously let us apply our deposit toward next year's Spring Auction, so we're on track for the 2021 party! A huge thank you to Mimi Fontenelle, Genevieve Richmond, and Charlene Shanahan for their work on this year's Auction.

For those who purchased tickets and would like for your purchase to become a donation, you're all set! If you'd like to request a refund, please contact genevieve.biersbach@gmail.com.

If you were considering attending or donating at the party, you can still support the PTA with a donation online. Thank you in advance for your support.

Sacajawea Packs for Kids and Families

From our Packs for Kids Team

We'd like to thank you all once again for your continued weekly donations. We are still committed to continuing the Packs Program throughout the closure, the "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" order, and Spring Break. The Program has added more families and now includes food, hygiene, and household supplies.

If your family would like to receive weekly packs, please contact cyshanahan@seattleschools.org.

Please consider donating using our new "No Contact Donation Drop-off" system! Our current needs are on our Packs SignupGenius list.

With gratitude,

The Packs for Kids Team

PTA Budget Committee

From our Treasurer Laura Riley

The PTA is beginning the budget process to plan the budget for our next school year. (Yes, I swear there will be school again!)  If anyone is interested in being part of our budget committee, to help form the recommendation we put forward at our next PTA meeting in May, please contact Laura Riley at lkriley99@outlook.com.

Also, please provide any preferred meeting times so we can get something on the calendar ASAP.  Thanks!
