South Shore School is located in the Rainier Beach neighborhood in South Seattle. Our school is one of the most diverse schools in the nation with 622 children ages 4-14 with 65% on free or reduced lunch programs.
Our Auction Fundraiser accounts for the majority of our annual budget, which supports key school programs and various items for students and/or classrooms that include:
-
Annual Back to School BBQ
-
Books for the library
-
School Sound system upgrade
-
South Shore Musical Program
-
Arts & Music Night
-
Multicultural Night
-
NAAPID Program
-
Uniforms for Track and Field
-
8th Grade Promotion
-
Custom designed T-shirts for graduating 8th Graders
-
City Year Literacy Night
-
3x3 Basketball Tournaments
-

And More!
Funding of these programs is critical so the teachers can focus on what they do best: teaching.
In addition to continuing to support the current needs of our school, THIS YEAR's goal for the auction is to raise enough money to buy school supplies for ALL of our students for fall 2018. Students that go to school unprepared are nervous and they’re not ready to learn. We want them focused and excited about school, and providing their supplies really helps them get a great start.
