PTA to Pre-Purchase School Supplies for 2025-26

We are pleased to announce that our PTA will pre-purchase all homeroom supplies for students for the 2025-26 school year. This means families will no longer need to worry about supply lists over the summer. Instead, parents only need to provide their child with a backpack and a water bottle. This change aims to reduce supply costs by purchasing in bulk, ensuring all students have the necessary supplies.

While we are pre-purchasing the supplies this year, we need families to help cover the costs. The requested amount per student is $40. If you need a scholarship, please let Karen Murphy (the Sacajawea Family Support coordinator) know. Her email is ksmurphy@seattleschools.org.

The PTA allocated scholarship funding for these supplies in our budget for the upcoming school year, increasing the importance of our fundraising events, such as the Move-a-thon, Direct Ask, and the Spring Auction. Your contributions during these fundraisers are crucial, as they now help cover the costs of school supplies, ensuring that every student is equipped and ready to learn from day one.

We also want to highlight the ongoing need for volunteers to make this program successful. We are looking for dedicated individuals to assist in various tasks, including finding the best prices for supplies, making bulk purchases, delivering supplies to the school, and organizing them for distribution. The volunteering opportunities are designed to be flexible, allowing parents to contribute in ways that fit their schedules. If you’re interested in helping or have any questions, please get in touch with us at supplies@sacpta.org.
