Support for the Shorewood Class of 2021

Wednesday, May 26, 2021

Due to the pandemic, the Shorewood Class of 2021 has been unable to enjoy their senior year through typical means such as school functions, homecoming, senior breakfast, assemblies, and most importantly: prom. 

Although prom cannot happen as we intended, the senior senators are holding a celebration event on June 5, 2021 from 7-10pm that is free for all seniors. 

Unfortunately, our dream and our budget do not match as we were unable to host our typical number of fundraisers last and this year due to the COVID restrictions. 

We want to make this a night to remember for all seniors, so we are reaching out to you in hopes that you can donate funds towards the Class of 2021’s event. 

Any support is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for considering helping the senators make this event a fun and beautiful night for seniors to enjoy with their classmates.

To donate:
  1. Scan the QR code using your camera function on your phone or use this link: https://wa-shoreline.intouchreceipting.com/
  2. Shorewood parents: Log in as normal. Non-Shorewood parents: Scroll down to the bottom to create a Guest Account
  3. After logging in, search “senior” in the search bar to donate

Friends and families of this North City teen band gather occasionally on a front lawn to hear "The Good Ideas" knock out their favorite tunes.

Three of the boys have been friends since meeting in the second grade and have since added another boy and a girl to their group.

Several of the parents are also musicians and encourage the band to perform as often as possible. 

Most of the band members are freshmen at Shorecrest High School, with one 8th grader from Einstein Middle School.

Recruiting middle and high school students for Letter to Elders

Opportunity for youth to connect
with Senior Citizens through the
written word.


The past 6 months has created tremendous challenges for our aging population as most services and programs moved to online access. 

The reality is that many seniors do not have access to computers and those that do, are not all at the technological level to download programs such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom. 

This transfers to cell phone use as well as FaceTime and similar programs remain a mystery to a population that is more comfortable with developing their relationships in person, through US Postal mail and accessing entertainment through television, not internet.

Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Senior Center is busy developing means of reaching seniors in their homes, to reduce the ill effects that social isolation has created. 

With this in mind, we are most fortunate to have two students, brother and sister team of Ishan and Ishita Bansal, step forward and create an amazing new program called Letter to Elders

Ishan and Ishita have developed a registration process for middle and high school students to apply to become pen pals to seniors in our community. In one week, they have acquired nine participants, eagerly awaiting their assigned individual that will be provided through the senior center.

The following is the recruitment ad that Ishan shared with classmates returning to school:

“Do you want to give back to the community but only have time to offer? Do you want to help support and bring joy to the senior community? 
"As the global pandemic continues, there are seniors across the country without loved ones to call and cannot visit them in these conditions. 
"For these seniors, isolation is just as hard and is becoming a growing problem. Letters to Elders is an organization connecting these seniors with youth across the area, building connections and ending isolation one letter at a time. 
"Volunteers get to intimately connect with seniors, learn new things, and earn service hours, all through a traditional pen pal program (either letter or email).”


If you know of a student that would like to participate, have them contact Ishan and Ishita directly or register HERE or contact us at lettertoelders@gmail.com

If you know an adult that would benefit from a new friendship, one in which regular letters will be exchanged, have them contact the senior center at 206-365-1536. All contact will be via US Postal Service only, no in-person visits and students are mandated to refrain from sharing any contact information.

--Theresa La Croix, Director, Shoreline - Lake Forest Park Senior Center

Local area students to compete in virtual Destination Imagination competition

Sixth grade students from King's Schools and Brighton Schools (Noah Anderson, Dylan Johnson De Lacy, Noah Hopkins, Michael Usoltsev, and Nolan Walsh) plan to compete in a virtual competition through Destination Imagination this May. Destination Imagination is a volunteer run, non-profit educational competition for elementary through college aged students.

had been created as a prop for their presentation

In Destination Imagination, student groups choose a modern-day challenge to solve through their creativity and group collaboration. Through meeting and seeking to solve these challenges, they become prepared for success in facing 21st century challenges as citizens and professionally.

The King's/Brighton 6th grade group chose to learn about earthquakes and to focus on spreading the message about earthquake preparedness in their community. They researched the topic and toured the University of Washington seismology lab, learning about current research being done on the West Coast. Afterwards, they created a community presentation to teach what they had learned to others.

To get the word out about a free presentation they would later give at the Edmonds Public Library, the group canvassed the town of Woodway with flyers that told about earthquakes, earthquake preparedness, and their upcoming presentation.

Later, during their community presentation at the library, a local insurance representative provided free emergency starter kits to attendees that included items like hand sanitizer, wind up flashlights, emergency blankets, and wet wipes. On the wave of this successful presentation, the kids presented the information to the students and staff at King's and Brighton schools.

They gave their presentation at both King's and Brighton schools


The group was set to compete earlier this spring in the Destination Imagination tournament to be held in Bellevue, but it was cancelled due to precautions around the coronavirus. Now the competition will be held virtually next month. The kids feel excited to be able to compete virtually, to show their creative solution, and all the work they put into the project.
