As parents, we all want the best for our children, and a critical part of that is ensuring our schools are adequately funded to provide the quality education they deserve. Right now, our school district is facing significant financial challenges that could affect the resources available for students and teachers. That’s why we’re inviting all parents, educators, and community members to attend the Education Funding Crisis Town Hall on Wednesday, October 23, 2024.

This important event, hosted in collaboration with neighboring districts, will provide a platform for open discussion about the current funding crisis. The Town Hall is an opportunity for parents like you to voice concerns, share ideas, and help identify solutions that will benefit our children and the future of education in our community.

Here’s why your participation matters:

  1. Hear from Education Leaders: Local school officials and education experts will share key insights into the funding challenges our district is facing and how they could impact our schools. You’ll have the chance to ask questions and gain a better understanding of what’s at stake.
  2. Your Input is Vital: As parents, we know our children’s needs better than anyone. The Town Hall is a space for you to provide feedback on how budget constraints are affecting students and to advocate for the changes needed to support their learning and well-being.
  3. Shape the Future of Our Schools: Our collective voices have power. By attending and participating, you can play an active role in shaping decisions that will impact not only your child but also the entire community. Now is the time to come together, stand up for education, and help guide the future of funding for our schools.

We understand that parents have busy schedules, but this is an opportunity to make a lasting difference in the education system that serves our children. Please join us on October 23, 2024, for this critical conversation. Let’s work together to ensure that every student in our district has access to the best education possible.

Thank you for your continued support of our students and schools. We hope to see you at the Town Hall and look forward to hearing your valuable input!

2024 Joy of Giving Campaign Team Members Needed!

As the holiday season approaches, the Edmonds Woodway Parent Student Organization (PSO) is thrilled to embark on our annual Joy of Giving campaign! Building on the overwhelming success of last year’s event, we are ready to bring even more cheer, support, and community spirit to those in need. This is a chance for us to come together once again to make a meaningful difference—and we need your help to make it happen!

We are looking for 2-3 volunteers to work with our Event Coordinator make this year’s campaign the best in can be…

Here’s a bit more about our draft vision & plan which needs to be reviewed, improved & implemented:

(The Blue Text below is a DRAFT…
all details are still to be determined by the Joy of Giving Campaign Team.)

Last Year’s Success

Last year, our community demonstrated incredible generosity. Together, we provided holiday meals, gift cards, and essential items to dozens of local families. Volunteers came together to collect donations, organize gift drives, and distribute everything just in time for the holidays. The joy on the faces of families receiving these thoughtful gifts was priceless, and it’s this feeling that inspires us to do even more this year.

2024: Let’s Make It Bigger and Better!

This year, we aim to reach even more families. We’ve expanded our goals to include:

  • Holiday Gift Drive: Collecting gifts and donations based on the wish lists of the families in need at Edmonds Woodway.
  • Meal Assistance: Offering groceries and prepared meals to ensure every family can enjoy a festive meal.
  • Community Support: Providing essential items like blankets, toiletries, and school supplies to families who need extra support.

But to make this vision a reality, we need your help.

How You Can Get Involved

There are so many ways to participate in the 2024 Joy of Giving campaign:

  1. Donate: We’re accepting donations of new, unwrapped toys, non-perishable food items, gift cards, and winter clothing. Every item counts and will make a huge difference to a local family.
  2. Volunteer: Help us collect, organize, and distribute donations. Whether you have an hour or a day to spare, your time is invaluable. There are roles for everyone—organizing donations, wrapping gifts, and delivering them to families in need.
  3. Spread the Word: Help us promote the campaign by sharing on social media, with neighbors, and at local businesses. The more people who know about the Joy of Giving, the more we can achieve together!

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering is one of the most impactful ways you can give back to our community. We are looking for:

  • Gift Wrappers: Bring your creative flair and help wrap the many wonderful gifts we’ll be distributing.
  • Drivers: Help deliver gifts and food packages to families in the area.
  • Organizers: Assist in sorting and organizing donations as they come in.
  • Event Assistants: Be on-hand during our distribution day to make sure everything runs smoothly.

We welcome individuals, families, and even local businesses who are eager to give back and be a part of this wonderful initiative.

Together, We Can Make a Difference

The Joy of Giving campaign isn’t just about gifts—it’s about community. It’s about coming together during the holiday season to spread kindness and hope to those who need it most. Your involvement, whether as a donor, volunteer, or advocate, will help ensure that every family in our community can experience the warmth and joy of the season.

Join us in making this year’s Joy of Giving campaign the biggest and best yet. Together, we can create a brighter, more joyful holiday season for everyone.
