Start planning for Back to School - your help is needed for 1300 students
Tuesday, July 18, 2017
August 26, 2017 at Ridgecrest Elementary from 12:30pm - 4:00pm
Did you know that one out of every four Shoreline School District students qualifies for free or reduced lunch? For these families and others, school supplies are expensive and not every family can afford the basic supplies such as a backpack, calculator, pens and notebooks.
The Back to School Consortium, a diverse local partnership, helps fill this gap for those families in the Shoreline School District who are living with a low income and/or experiencing circumstances in their lives that make it challenging to prepare their children for school.
On Saturday, August 26, the annual Back To School Event will take place at Ridgecrest Elementary, 16516 10th Ave NE, from 12:30 pm - 4:00 pm.
For the past 16 years, the Shoreline community has come together to support our students and their success. This year, we plan to serve 1,300 students.
To register to receive supplies at the event, visit the webpage or call The WORKS information line at 206-393-4916 and leave a message.
