Save the Date: Sacajawea Party and Auction

Please join the Sacajawea PTA, Sac Dads, and the entire Sacajawea Community at our annual fundraising celebration. Saturday, March 2nd at 5:30pm at The Landing at Tyee on Lake Union. 

Line up a babysitter and get ready to support Sacajawea and the many programs we love, value and cherish. It's a party, fundraiser, and an opportunity to build a stronger community! Look for a flyer and emails after the winter break for more information and to purchase tickets.

PTA Year-End Update

From the entire PTA board, thank you to our entire community for supporting Sacajawea and the PTA during the first part of this 2018-2019 school year. Together, we've supported a broad set of initiatives including Walk to School Day, visiting musicians, advocacy for the BEX Levy, the Book Fair, and the Move-a-Thon.

Plus, our Equity Team won the Jan Harp Domene Diversity and Inclusion Award and put on a spectacular Heritage Potluck in October.

And last, with your generous support, we've raised almost $40,000 of our $100,000 goal for this school year. Thank you again for all that you do for Sacajawea.
