Special Education Chair!

We need someone to attend Lake Washington PTSA Special Education Group meetings (or as many of them as your schedule allows). These monthly meetings connect and support families in the LWSD community who have students who receive special services and feature connection time, a formal presentation, and time for Q&A. We'd love to have someone bring the content and knowledge back to our Advocacy team so that we can better advocate for all our EMS families and students.

The next meeting is October 17th @ 6:30 p.m. at the LWSD Resource Center (16250 NE 74th St., Redmond WA 98052). Email Aspen Richter at advocacy@evergreenptsa.org if you are interested.

Don't want to be Special Ed Chair but still want to attend? The meeting is open to all! More information can be found here.
