Sacajawea Party and Auction: Event Site is Live

March 2nd, 5:30 - 10:00 p.m. at the Landing at Tyee on Lake Union

Join us in celebrating our school while raising funds to support the many programs that help make Sacajawea an inclusive and caring community. It's the largest annual fundraiser hosted by our PTA. The event is fun and welcoming to all (except kids – this one is adults only!) and the highlight is our Student Art Auction. We hope to see you there!
 
We need your help! We are a 100% Volunteer Coordinated Event. We know there are many talented parents, teachers and staff at Sacajawea. Can we utilize your talents to help cover event costs so that every dollar raised will go to funding our PTA initiatives? We have a list of needs on our event site. Thank you in advance to our wonderful Sacajawea Community!

You'll find tickets, event details, and FAQs on the event site.

Girls on the Run: Calling all Sacajawea 3rd-5th grade girls!

Girls on the Run is an after-school program like no other!  We meet twice per week (Mondays and Wednesdays after school) for 10 weeks to help girls feel good about themselves…inside and out.  The season ends with an exciting and empowering, non-competitive 5K!

The fun starts March 4th and space is limited (scholarships also available).  Learn more and register at www.GOTRPugetSound.org

Questions?  Contact Charlene Shanahan at cyshanahan@seattleschools.org.

Calling all Bakers!

How do we close out a night of successful fundraising at our Spring Party & Auction?  By satisfying everyone's sweet tooth! 

The ever-popular dessert dash raises serious dough for Sacajawea, and you can help by signing up to donate a dessert for the auction...it's really a piece of cake!

Here are the details:

• Each dessert donated should be large enough to feed a full table, around 10-12 people.

• Desserts can be dropped off from Thursday (2/28) – Saturday (3/2) whether you’re coming to the party or not (but we sure hope you are)!

Questions? Please contact Lara: larabice@hotmail.com. Sign up here on the SignupGenius list.
