Education Funding At Risk - Act by March 5
|
Attention Endeavour Community: Despite a rising revenue forecast, the legislature is once again proposing to cut public education - failing Washington's most vulnerable students and repeating a familiar pattern of broken promises on school funding. The budget is being written right now so there is still time to change course. But we need your voice today. Our school districts can’t take another hit. Students deserve support and equitable access to education. Act NOW: Please contact legislative budget writers no later than Thursday, March 5. Tell legislative budget writers to change course – time is running out! The February revenue forecast projects $827 million more in collections this biennium - $1.8 billion more over the next three and a half years. HOWEVER, both the House and Senate have proposed cutting public education anyway. These cuts fall hardest on the students who can least afford to lose support. Schools are the hearts of our neighborhoods where many at risk children and youth access crucial wrap around supports. In uncertain times like these, community hubs should be strengthened, not hollowed out. Your Voice Is Needed Now Use this pre-drafted letter to contact key budget writers on the House Appropriations and Senate Ways & Means committees. Ask them to preserve the TK, LEA and Running Start programs and bus depreciation schedules as is in the 2026 supplemental operating budget and invest $100 per student or $100,000 - whichever is greater - in MSOC.
It takes just a few minutes - and numbers matter. Please share this alert widely.
Deadline: Thursday, March 5 |
Help make recess even better! At Endeavour Elementary, recess is more than playtime—it’s a chance to build friendships, burn energy, and have fun. We’re inviting parents and caregivers to volunteer one Friday a month to help support playground activities during lunch recess.
Your presence helps keep recess safe, engaging, and joyful – and it’s a great way to connect with students, staff, and other volunteers. Come be a part of the fun and help us grow a stronger school community!
Volunteers will sign in at the PTSA-sponsored Check-in Table at our southern gate (by our community garden). You must have current Volunteer Approval to volunteer on campus. Office Staff will not be able to assist you with getting volunteer clearance on the day of our Parent Playground event. Please review the expectations of your role here. Once you check-in, you will receive a visitor’s badge and be invited to our playground to PLAY, PLAY, PLAY!
Sign-up to volunteer on the playground here!
Get approved by the district to volunteer here!
Questions? Reach out to our Principal, Gary Aguilar (AguilarG@issaquah.wednet.edu)
Registration is open to everyone, with a fee of $26. The deadline to register is March 6th—don’t wait!
