QAE Pillars & Southeast Seattle Schools Fundraising Alliance. 

We're happy to share that QAE PTSA was able to put action behind one of our school's core pillars; We are concerned, confident and compassionate citizens of the world. Our donation to the SSSFA, along with other organizations and PTAs, helped them achieve their goal of $15,000. This funding will help support 15 schools in the southeast part of our school district. This is meaningful action that elevates us all.

We need parent help in 2022-23

Picture
Dear QAE, 
Our school was established in 2010 by a passionate, dedicated and involved group of teachers, staff and parents. With the organizational foundation they put in place 12 years ago our school volunteer leadership has been able to glean stability, grounding and direction during these past three years of uncertainty. Your current PTSA is asking you to help make sure this stabilizing yet flexible effort continues for our future students, teachers and community. Becoming a board member of the PTSA is a great way to build community for our kids (and as a parent!), and to create enrichment opportunities for the whole school. We’d love to have you join us for the 2022-2023 school year!
Please note: All roles can be shared with a friend, and current board members are happy to talk to you further about what the roles entail. If you are at all curious, want to learn more, have questions or have ideas about our school. Please take the next step and connect. We need you to help build our Board! You can reach out in the following ways:
  • Talk to any volunteer in our community like your class coordinator! 
  • Directly email our PTSA Vice President, Sarah Kaiser at [email protected] 
  • Come to Caffeine with Janine this Monday morning at 7:55 a.m. in our school courtyard.
  • Come to the General Membership Meeting this Wednesday, June 8th TEAMS at 5:45 p.m. Link in the school calendar.
