Are you interested in being a ROOM PARENT for your child’s classroom this year? 

This is a great way to be involved, foster community through regular communication between teachers, parents, & the PTA, and assist in the classroom if needed. After curriculum night, we'll have a room parent orientation to make sure volunteers are set up for success. We'll go over the role, talk about the benefits of being a room parent, and introduce you to veteran room parents who can pass on any knowledge.

If you are interested, please fill out this form: https://lafayettepta.wufoo.com/forms/mycgw5o0n9ji3h/

If you have any questions or are interested in learning more, you can reach out the Room Parent Coordinator Chad Young at chad.young@gmail.com.

Hello wonderful Lafayette families!

Each summer we look for volunteers to tend and water the school garden for a week; starting each Sunday and going through Saturday. You will pick the keys up from Ms. Alden's home in North Admiral on Sunday morning and return them the following Saturday.

The kindergarten garden is the area that you will be watering and tending; it takes 30-60 minutes each day. Feel free to bring things to plant, harvest what is there, and explore with your little ones! The garden is located off Lander Street, there is parking right outside.

Feel free to email Ms. Alden with any questions: amalvarado1@seattleschools.org. 

SIGN UP HERE!

Congratulations to this year's Golden Acorn Award winner, Amber Zeddies!

Amber has worn many many hats while her kids were here; PTA President, Room Parent, Events Chair multiple years, Yearbook Coordinator, Walk-a-Thon lead and more.

And while titles and responsibilities cement her volunteer resume, the truth is, she made such an impact because fun followed wherever she led. Our students were always her top priority. Their interests and their learning drove every decision she made.

Amber, we can't remember a time in recent years that you weren't involved in making things happen at our school and in our community. Thank you for all of the hours of smiles and highfives you gave us. We will truly miss your presence here.

Call for Field Day Volunteers!
