Shorewood freshman earns his Eagle Scout Award

Shorewood High School freshman and Boy Scout Troop 838 member, Will Anderton, completed his Eagle Scout project over the summer then successfully passed his Board of Review on October 18th to earn his Eagle Scout Award.

The new playground table at Echo Lake Elementary

Echo Lake Elementary approached Will about researching, planning, designing, and helping install a table where kids could color, draw and play board games during recess. The project grew to also include painting a design under the table and re-painting the school's hopscotch areas.

The Eagle Scout rank is the highest achievement in scouting and requires the scout to earn badges, complete service hours, learn and teach outdoor skills, take on leadership roles, and plan, organize and complete a personal service project in his community.

Will presented his concept to the Echo Lake PTA

Only about 5% of all Boy Scouts earn the Eagle Scout Rank. This represents more than two million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1912. Will earned his Eagle Scout a little over a month before his 15th birthday. He comes from a long line of Eagle Scouts on both sides of his immediate and extended families.

PTSA sponsors screening of Most Likely to Succeed about reimagining education

Sunday, September 18, 2016



Shorewood PTSA invites parents, educators, community members, and students over 12 years old to a community screening of the acclaimed documentary Most Likely to Succeed about reimagining education.

The screening will take place at 3:00pm on Sunday, September 25, 2016 at the Shoreline Center Auditorium, 18560 1st Avenue NE, Shoreline 98155.

Admission will be $5 either in advance via Brown Paper Tickets or at the door. All middle and high school students will be FREE at the door, no ticket purchase required.

Childcare is available by reservation on Brown Paper Tickets.

The 90-minute film will be followed by a 45-minute panel discussion.

We are honored to have a representative from the Shoreline School District and an innovative Shoreline teacher participate on the panel.

The acclaimed film Most Likely to Succeed offers an inspiring look at what students and teachers are capable of — if we have the vision and courage to transform our schools. Directed by acclaimed documentarian Greg Whiteley, the film has been an official selection of two dozen of the world’s top film festivals, including Sundance and Tribeca.

Audience members call it the most compelling film ever done on the topic of school. In the past year, more than 1,500 communities have booked a screening of Most Likely to Succeed.

The purpose of this event is to foster meaningful discussion among educators, administrators, parents, and students about how current obstacles can be overcome and steps towards change can be taken on a local level.

Visit the website for a trailer and more information about the film. See event information on Facebook: Community Film Screening.

The Shorewood Experience - Shorewood PTSA sets up fund to help all kids participate in school community

Monday, September 5, 2016

New Shorewood High School PTSA fund will help all kids participate in school activities.

What is the Shorewood Experience? Being part of the school, having the opportunity to be involved and participate in your own community. Some examples include sports, cheer, flags, band and drama...

but it’s more than that … it’s getting to go to sporting events, dances, Senior Spree, Prom and so much more.

It is estimated to cost as much as $250 a year to participate in the community at Shorewood and that number at least doubles in Senior year.

Did you know…
  • 28% of students at Shorewood are on Free and Reduced Lunch?
  • 356 students identify as Homeless in the Shoreline School District? One of the highest percentages in King County.

What can you do to help?
Take a moment and consider a donation to the Shorewood PTSA’s Shorewood Experience fund. Your dollars will contribute to our Invest Ed funding that provides this assistance to the students who need it most.

Why Help?
Studies show that students that have stress at home regarding financial issues around covering just the basic needs, food and shelter, are more likely to drop out of high school in favor of the short-term “fix” of a minimum wage job.

A student that can be supported and engaged in their community are less likely to do this because they are more optimistic by the support provided in their community.

Students that are able to graduate high school have better outcomes for the long term and this is better for society as a whole.

Contact Carrie Campbell with questions.

Goal for 2016-17 School Year: $5,000. Donate using the Pay Pal link on the PTSA website
