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!

Join us on the playground for what is certainly the most fun all-school event of the year!

Field Day 2023 is right around the corner on Wednesday, June 21st, and we need lots of volunteers to make it happen!

Please use this link to let us know that you will be there and for which session (or both!)

Principal Chaput, Assistant Principal Dempsey, and staff will be hosting a celebration of all Lafayette Volunteers from this year. If you contributed in some way to your child's classroom, the school at large or in any other capacity, you are invited!

The celebration will be in the Lafayette Library on Tuesday, June 20th from 8-10am. Please check in at the office first when you arrive. Refreshments will be served, and there will be special thank you's delivered by students at different times, so stay for the duration if you are able!

All volunteers are welcome!

Calling all current Kinder families! We’re looking for 2-3 volunteers to lead the “Welcome Kinder” playdates before next school year. We’d like to begin a new tradition where our rising 1st grade families help welcome incoming kindergartners with this activity since you’re now veterans.

The exact dates are decided by “Welcome Kinder” volunteer families, are typically held at Hiawatha or the Lafayette school playground, sometimes families procure light snacks (reimbursable by the PTA), and are attended by other PTA Board members.

Email if you’re interested in planning these fun events!

Every year, PTA's across the country award the Golden Acorn to volunteers they feel made an extraordinary impact in their schools that year. Lafayette is now accepting nominations for our 2022-2023 Golden Acorn winners. The Lafayette Golden Acorn will be awarded at the General PTA Meeting on June 15th!

Please use this link to nominate an outstanding volunteer and tell us a little bit about why this individual is so deserving of recognition:

Deadline to nominate: May 31st.

Interested in Volunteering to provide complimentary childcare during the General PTA meetings? Email us!

We also need volunteers to help cheer on and count bikers/scooters/walkers, hand out raffle tickets, and help students lock their bikes up every morning throughout the month of May. Sign up for one (or more!) days HERE. 

We're still looking for volunteers for all three Enrichment days - Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If you are able to volunteer for the 10-week session, you'll get free tuition for your kiddo in a class of your choice! If you aren’t able to commit to the full 10 weeks, are you interested in being a substitute if our volunteer is not available? Please talk to Lia Aprile if you have any questions!
