Leschi School Update

The Leschi PTA’s Annual Giving Campaign is currently underway and as always we rely upon and greatly appreciate support from the Leschi community. At the same time, many members of the parent and family community are engaged in advocacy to push the Washington state legislature to support increased funding for all public schools including SPS. Please go to leschipta.org/donate to see how you can support our students, teachers and families.

On May 1 starting at 5.30pm, please join us in the school cafeteria for the annual Golden Grads Jazz Concert, featuring Butch Harrison and Good Company, to contribute to our family support fund and help improve housing stability and food security for Leschi families.

Will you be buying flowers for a special someone on Mother’s Day? Please consider doing so through the SESEC Mother’s Day flower sale. A portion of your purchase of beautiful flowers locally grown by Hmong farmers in the Skagit Valley will support Title I schools including Leschi in South and Central Seattle. You can pre-order at sesecwa.org/mothers-day-flower-sale-2/ and pick up flowers at Leschi Elementary on Mother’s Day weekend.

THANK YOU to BluWater Bistro and its patrons in the community for their tremendous support to our school. For the fourth year in a row, BluWater Bistro's fundraiser has raised $10,000 in donations! The plan is to put these funds toward the cost of essential hourly staff and tutors at the school.
