Back-to-School Help for Community Families

The Back to School event is a community effort that provides school supplies, hair cuts, and clothing assistance for families in the Shoreline School District who are living with a low income and/or experiencing circumstances in their life that make it challenging to prepare their children to go back to school in the fall.

You can support the consortium by donating school supplies, books, hygiene products, socks and underwear.

The 5th grade team of Dylan Austin, Gwen Miller, Teddy Timbrook, and Steffen Torgersen won 9th place. And the 6th grade team of Spencer Froelick, Olivia Humes, Wing-Sum Law, and Bethany Li won 13th place.
