Pick Up Your Free BLM T-Shirts at School on Wed, Jan 27!

The Green Lake Elementary teacher-designed Black Lives Matter t-shirts are back, just in time for Black Lives Matter at School week in early February! Your GLES student(s) can each receive one t-shirt at no charge. Families can pick them up at school on Wed, Jan. 27th between 11 am and 2 pm. We will have an assortment of sizes available.

• For grades K-2, the drive-thru/walk-up pick-up area will be on 65th in front of the school. 
• For grades 3-5, the drive-thru/walk-up pick-up area will be on 1st Ave NE behind the school (where we did morning drop-off last year). 

Just like last year, the PTA's Social Justice & Equity Committee will be sponsoring the cost of these t-shirts for all students, teachers, and staff to wear during Black Lives Matter at School week, which is Feb 1-5, to ensure we can all stand in solidarity. For those who are able, willing, and wanting to make a donation toward offsetting that cost -- We thank you in advance. You can donate to the SJE committee here: greenlakeelementary.schoolauction.net/fundraisers2020/sje
