Featured event:
A Guide to College Planning and Admission Sept 14th Shorecrest Library 7:00pm (general meeting begins)
College experts Paula Bishop, CPA and Deborah Cossey, College Counselor will present on admissions and financial aid. Paula has specialized in the financial aid area for the past 8 years, and found that the real money is not with the outside scholarship searches or athletic awards, it’s from the colleges themselves.98% of the money is from the particular college (both need based aid and merit awards), and only 2% from outside scholarships.
Deborah is an expert on college admissions and will address choosing the right college and how to best present oneself. Visit Deborah's website for more information www.rainiercc.com
This panel presentation, followed by a discussion with your questions. We will start at approximately 7:20, following a short PTSA business meeting. Students, Freshmen to Seniors and their parents are welcome!

Pass the Hat
Pass the Hat is the largest PTSA fundraiser of the year.
Although we do several fund-raising events throughout the year, the most significant event, by far, is our annual “Pass-the-Hat” campaign. A contribution to Pass-the-Hat has advantages over other types of contributions: no money is diverted to pay for underlying products or services, one hundred percent of the dollars contributed can go towards the achievement of our goals, and since you receive no goods or services in return for your payment, your contributions may be tax-deductible (we are a 501 (c) (3) organization).
Student Enrichment Grants, Family Services, Reflections and many other academic and community programs are supported financially your SC PTSA. The Ways and Means committee raises funds so that the PTSA can continue to support existing programs and also implement new and exciting programs that benefit our students and school.
The PTSA has increased our focus on student enrichment. We have asked teachers to submit their thoughts and ideas for distinctive, outstanding programs that they would like to implement in their classrooms – programs that recent budget cuts otherwise would not allow.
The idea of the Writers in the Schools (WITS) program was brought to the PTSA by the SC English department. WITS brings published authors to classrooms to work with students over the course of a semester. WITS is affiliated with and underwritten by Seattle Arts and Lectures (SAL). The program has been shown to motivate interest and inspire confidence in writing. We are very excited to be part of bringing this excellent program to our entire freshman class and the creative writing classes. Please go to www.lectures.org/wits.html for more information.
