Pass the Pouch
Our annual Pass the Pouch fundraiser will officially kick off this fall, but donations are welcome at any time and serve to fill the gaps in public funding in ways that enhance the experience of LWHS students, staff, and community members. Click HERE to donate today!

LWHS PTSA suggests an annual donation of $100 per student, however, any amount - larger or smaller - is greatly appreciated. Your donation supports:

• Students: enrichment and wellness programs, recognition, scholarship assistance, and classroom and club activities
• Staff: classroom needs, continuing education, and staff appreciation events
• Community: emergency supplies, community events, and public meetings

If you have specific questions or ideas related to the use of donations, we would love to hear from you at fundraising@lwhsptsa.org. LWHS PTSA is an adaptive resource and looks forward to partnering with you to increase our impact.

LWHS PTSA is a registered US 501(c)(3) charity. Your donations are tax deductible and qualify for company matching funds. 

Many companies have corporate matching programs for their employees' donations of money and volunteer hours.


Join the LWHS PTSA to Make a Difference!

We want to redefine what PTSA means to you. It's not just a noun; it's a dynamic verb, an action plan dedicated to ensuring your student's success.

There's no one-size-fits-all approach to PTSA. However you choose to engage, it's an investment in your child's future. PTSA can mean supporting your child's teachers and educational programs, advocating for issues that affect your child at local, state, and national levels, and fostering a more robust, diverse, and inclusive school community.

We extend an open invitation to every family to get involved with PTSA because together, we can achieve more. 

Join us HERE!

Membership fees and donations are the lifeblood of our organization. Our annual "Pass the Pouch" campaign, which is our sole fundraiser, will kick off shortly, but donating when you join is appreciated and simple.

Lake Washington PTSA organizes enrichment and wellness programs, recognition, classroom and club activities, and scholarship assistance that directly benefit our students and are not possible through public funding alone. By becoming a member and donating, you play a pivotal role in turning this year's goals into reality. Also, we welcome your suggestions for use of funds - just attend a meeting or reach out to us at fundrasing@lwhspta.org.

Collaboration between community members, educators, and students is key to student success. Join us now and donate to start making an impact!

For more information about the PTSA, please don't hesitate to contact me, Susan Davis, Membership Chair, at membership@lwhsptsa.org, or our PTSA President, Colleen Rutherford, at president@lwhsptsa.org.

We eagerly anticipate welcoming YOU as a valued member!
