S.N.A.C.K Together

Peter Kirk 4th grader, Radhika Chandra, made her journalistic debut for Kirkland Living Magazine with a narrative of her experience participating in March's virtual diversity event S.N.A.C.K. Together. The S.N.A.C.K. committee and cultural speakers have been blown away by the outpour of support and enthusiasm for this event and hope to make it a staple in the PTSA annual events calendar. In case you missed it, turn to page 28 of the May 2022 issue of Kirkland Living Magazine and enjoy an immersive recap of the event from Radhika's point of view. Great job, Radhika! 

The Peter Kirk PTSA DEI committee continues to recruit more cultural ambassadors to help support events like S.N.A.C.K. Together. If you're interested in getting involved, please email us at diversity@peterkirkptsa.org.

Peter Kirk a School of Excellence

Peter Kirk Elementary is a current 2020-2021 School of Excellence. Peter Kirk Elementary School and Peter Kirk PTSA are continuing the momentum and striving to achieve excellence again this year, through the implementation and expansion of our 2020-2021 School Improvement goals.

In the Fall we sent you a survey, and we would like to see what’s changed since we first see it out. Please take a few minutes to fill out this follow-up survey.

Please take 5-10 minutes to reflect on your experience at our school and complete the SPRING FOLLOW-UP SURVEY. Check the boxes that most accurately express how you feel. The survey will close on May 20, and is completely anonymous.

At a National PTA School of Excellence, families feel welcomed and empowered to support student success, and PTA is a key partner for continuous school improvement. We feel Peter Kirk Elementary School and Peter Kirk PTSA can achieve that together. The result will be national, state and community-wide visibility for the positive impact we are making together.

Thank you,

Monica Garcia                  Elysia Heller                            Kristen Kissinger

Peter Kirk Principal            PTSA Vice President                PTSA VP of Enrichment

WSPTA Convention

From May 20th-22nd, members of our Board will attend the 108th annual Washington State PTA Convention.
Every PTSA member is invited to attend the convention and can register at WSPTA Convention.

This is an opportunity to connect with leaders from across the state to network, share successes, and brainstorm fresh ideas.

Our Board will report back things we learned and ways we were able to help shape the future of our state's education.

Volunteering Opportunity: Morning Greeters

The school administration has asked us to find four Morning Greeters every school day for the rest of the year! We'd love to see you there.

Greeters would help by opening car doors and/or school building doors. The most important aspect is to greet PK students with a smile and 'Good Morning!' to help start their day off right! 

We need four greeters a day, from 8:40a-9:10a. 

Greeters are required to wear masks and be a district approved volunteer. You can find out how to be an approved volunteer HERE at https://www.lwsd.org/get-involved/volunteering-in-lwsd
