In 2024-2025, LWPTSA Council hosted Advocacy Skills in the Education System (ASES)—a dynamic group open to PTA leaders, parents, staff and students from across the Lake Washington School District who share a passion for creating positive change in our schools and community.
This committee served as a platform for learning, collaboration and action. It is thoughtfully designed to equip participants with the knowledge, tools and confidence needed to effectively advocate for the issues that matter most to their communities.
