Homecoming is Almost Here — We Need Volunteers & Snack Donations!

Homecoming is one of the most exciting nights of the year for our Edmonds-Woodway students, and it’s right around the corner! This year’s dance will be held on Saturday, October 11th from 8:30–10:30 pm, and we’re asking for your help to make it safe, fun, and memorable.

Volunteer with Us

We need 20–30 parent/guardian volunteers (plus staff) to make the evening run smoothly. Volunteers will help with a variety of important roles, including:

• Greeting students and checking IDs at the entrance
• Supervising coat check and bag check
• Monitoring the dance floor, cafeteria, and courtyard
• Helping at the snack table
• Floating where needed to keep everything moving

We pair volunteers together so no one is standing alone, and we ask that all volunteers plan to stay for the entire event. This helps us keep track of coverage and ensures a safer, smoother evening for everyone.

Donate Snacks

Another big way to support is by donating snacks. Everything is provided free to students, so your contribution makes a huge difference!

Here’s what we need for Homecoming:

• 6 boxes of Rice Krispies Treats (Thank you Anonymous PSO Supporter!)
• 5 boxes of fruit snacks (Thank you Anonymous PSO Supporter!)
• 12 18 cases of water (Thank you, Dara Lehman!)
• 3 2 boxes of Goldfish (Thank you Silviana Joyce & Anonymous PSO Supporter!)
• 3 boxes of chips (Thank you Lena Kleven)
• 3 boxes of Oreos (Thank you Anonymous PSO Supporter!)
• 7 bakery-sized packs of Costco cookies (Thank you, Katie Dire!)

Snacks can be dropped off at the school office before October 11th. Please email the PSO to let us know of your donation, and we’ll update this post to cross off those items already donated.

Why It Matters

Dances are only possible because of volunteers and donors like you. When families pitch in—whether it’s standing at the coat check table, offering a friendly smile at check-in, or sending in a box of cookies—we create a safe, welcoming, and joyful environment for our students.

💚 Thank you for helping us make Homecoming 2025 a success!
