Announcements and posts about events past and future
Many thanks to everyone who came out for the classroom rug cleaning this week! And to the Safeway on 15th for donating the Rug Doctor machines and supplies.
The work went quicker than we thought (perhaps because it was fueled by doughnuts), and we even got to gear up with this sweet Ghostbusters-style vacuum. The number of enthusiastic thank-yous we heard from teachers easily outnumbered the rugs that we cleaned.
Thank you, Union Church and Kakao Chocolate and Coffee, for your amazing library fund-raiser/book drive! Thanks to you and everyone you inspired, the event raised $2,700—well over our target goal of $2,000. We will be able to buy all the books on our library list and have money in reserve for future projects dedicated to the library.
A big, big THANK YOU to all of those who came out and either donated, gave their time to volunteer, or helped to set up the event!
Don’t miss the big Family “Back To School” Picnic! It’s at Lowell (1058 E Mercer), on Wednesday, Aug 30, from 5:30 to 7:00, with free food, drinks, and games. It’s a great time for children, parents, staff, and teachers to hang out and enjoy the last of summer. (Note the earlier start time! We’re kicking things off a little bit early so more teachers can make it.)
A big thank-you to everyone who helped with the PTA playfield cleanup today—and a huge shout-out to all the hard-working volunteers from Volunteer Park Church, Union Church Seattle, and Calvary the Hill, who poured much love and effort into some much-needed painting. Everyone in our Lowell family is grateful for the help, and we hope you can stay involved all year long!
Union Church is generously doing a book drive on behalf of Lowell. They are looking for volunteers from the Lowell community to represent the school at their booth.
Hello Lowell community! We are seeking volunteers for three events before school even starts!
On Sunday the 20th there is a work party to clean up the playground and field.
On Wednesday the 30th earlier in the day there is a work party to clean the area rugs that are in many classrooms.
On Wednesday the 30th later in the day there is the Back to School Picnic, and we need volunteers to help setup, cleanup, and if you are able, contribute food and drinks. If you might be able to organize this event, we are particularly eager to hear from you.
