EWHS Parent Staff Organization

In true community spirit, we’re shifting our EWHS Parent Staff Organization (PSO) meeting to make room for another beloved Northwest team — the Seattle Mariners! ⚾💚💜

Our next PSO meeting will now take place on Thursday, October 23 at 6:30 p.m. (originally scheduled for October 16). We want our families, staff, and students to have the chance to cheer on the Mariners as they take the field in the American League Championship Series — a rare and exciting moment for our region!

We’ll resume our meeting next week with plenty to cover: upcoming fall events, staff appreciation, volunteer opportunities, and ways you can help make this school year even better. Whether you’re a regular attendee or it’s your first time joining us, you’ll find it’s a warm, welcoming place to get connected and make a difference at EWHS.

📅 New Date: Thursday, October 23
🕖 Time: 6:30 p.m.
📍 Location: EWHS Library

Thank you for your flexibility, enthusiasm, and community spirit. Enjoy the game — and we’ll see you next week, ready to plan, connect, and celebrate our amazing school!

🎉 Hello Warriors! 💚💜

It is Homecoming Week and we need some help!

ASB needs as many hands as possible to help get our Homecoming decorations up — the more people, the faster the magic happens! ✨

📅 When: Wednesday night, 10/8
📍 Where: Edmonds-Woodway High School Gym
🏐 Timing: 8:30 PM 

🪜 Supplies Needed (if you have them):

• Masking tape 🩵
• Paint rollers 🎨
• Step ladders 🪜

(Bring them if you can — totally fine if you don’t!)

💫 ASB hopes everyone can stay until all the posters are hung — it should only take a couple of hours if we get lots of helping hands! 🙌

Let’s make this Homecoming a night to remember! 🎈🎶

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.

For more details on specific jobs, please review this document.

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!
