From the Heart: QAE Community Celebration and Fund Drive!

2/2/2022

 
Picture
Save the date, Friday, March 25th for our Virtual Community Spring Celebration and Fundraising Experience! 
Our community is keeping the pulse of learning, supporting, growing and exploring alive. Thank you for that! In celebration, all are invited to participate as we create opportunities to reach our goal of $100,000.  
As details are being finalized, please consider contributing to the effort; perhaps donating a special skill, theater or sports tickets, mountain ski home, 12 months of cookies or writing thank you cards to local businesses. This week, you may choose to help procure items for the auction or in later weeks help deliver items. Whatever way you volunteer, know that it counts towards the success of this important community-wide event. The weeks ahead will be filled with information on how our funding directly impacts our students, ways to connect and help the beat go on! But don't wait for us! Please​ email us now to help. Thank you!


Black Lives Matter at School​

Picture
Our community is taking action and showing our support for BLM school-wide by providing staff and student BLM T-shirts. Every student and staff will get one! In order to cover some of the costs the PTSA is offering an opportunity to make a donation now for $7- $10, the cost of shirt and printing. Giving for more then one shirt is appreciated! Know that your generosity will cover the costs of shirts for all students. Here are the steps:
  1. Click 'donation now'
  2. Choose 'send', then enter an amount.
  3. Click 'add a note' and write 'BLM t-shirt'.
  4. Then ‘Continue’ to enter payment information. 
Thank You to our Families of Color Director, Domin Chan, for bringing this to our community.  Connect with her at [email protected] if you are interested in getting involved in BLM or Families of Color. Currently, help is needed to plan a BLM QAE community activity that will take place in April or May. It needs to respect SPS COVID health and safety guidelines.

​​​Vote for School Levies February 8th!!

Picture
Ballots were mailed in January.  Make sure you vote for our School Levies!  
The Seattle Public School District cannot function without these critical funds.   Just some of the things these funds support:
  • Fund about 15% of day-to-day funding 
  • Pay for most construction and maintenance of school facilities
  • Fund classroom technology, including the computers and tablets needed for remote learning
  • Supports opportunities for students in athletics, arts, drama and music
  • Funds special education
If you'd like to learn more about how the school district utilizes these critical funds, please spend some time on their School Levies page.
Get that ballot out of the drawer today and complete it with your QAE student.  It's a great chance to show how we all have a role to play.
Thank You to our PTSA Legislative Director, Jackson Bennett and parent volunteer, Gillian Jorgensen for bringing this to our community.
