LINKS

Looking Into the Needs of Kids and Schools

BECOME A  LINKS  Volunteer  Today !

Kids Need you Now!

The Lake Washington PTSA Council works diligently to support all of the schools within our district by providing volunteer support to each and every school.   LINKS is a committee within the LWSD PTSA Council.  For those of you who are not familiar with LINKS, it stands for Looking Into the Needs of Kids and Schools.   LINKS was formed three years ago by a small group of concerned parents who recognized the volunteer discrepancies between schools within our district.  Over the last three years the number of volunteers that we have placed in the LWSD has grown and we expect it to continue to grow.

One of our goals this year is to increase the awareness of LINKS.  In the past, we have done presentations to organizations like the Kiwanis, Rotary Clubs and retirement communities.  We have also distributed information about the LINKS Program to local churches within the district. Our LINKS volunteers include retirees, high school students and parent volunteers who come from one school to help at another nearby.  It’s a wonderful example of people helping teachers help their kids!   

This year we have been working closely with the school district to combine our efforts to match volunteers with needs that we have open within our schools.

Please visit our website at www.linksvolunteer.org for more information. 

If you know of someone who might be interested in working with kids for just one hour a week, please have them visit our website or contact us.  Every volunteer will be asked to complete the Lake Washington School District Volunteer Application packet.
