BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING?
Set EWHS PSO as your charity in Amazon Smile and every time you shop, Amazon donates a portion of the proceeds to our programs. This is the easiest way to help raise critical funds that benefit our students and staff. Make the change before you shop online and we can award even more grants to our educators this year.
What does the Edmonds-Woodway High School Parent Staff Organization Do?
- We provide grants to teachers and student groups for things not covered in the school budget – from materials to experiences.
- The PSO, with Princeton Review, offers Practice ACT and SAT tests for students in the fall and spring.
- We host Teacher Appreciation Luncheons four times during the school year to thank our great staff.
- We host social opportunities for parent and EWHS administration/staff to engage in dialogue – Back to School Social at Brigid’s Bottleshop, Principal’s Coffee (First Friday of every month) and Parent University
