There is no better time to be part of the EHS PTSA!


The EHS PTSA has several volunteer positions available for board, committee chairs, or for smaller, well-defined and short-term volunteer opportunities.  Whatever your experience or available time, chances are we have an opportunity for you to contribute. 

As part of the EHS PTSA, you can make a difference by helping the phenomenal teachers and staff ensure that the families and students of Eastlake have access to the resources, tools, and support they need for the best education experience possible.

These positions provide valuable opportunities to build relationships with other outstanding volunteers and staff members in a supportive, positive and fun environment. Serving on the board is practical and informative, and it is also rewarding and energizing because what you do supports so many people in our community.

Pantry Packs 2018 Holiday Hunger Campaign

December 3-14

More than 800 Lake Washington School District students don’t get enough to eat, and that number is growing. Feed Washington is campaigning to make sure every student in the Lake Washington School District has enough to eat each weekend. $25 provides a month's worth of weekend food packs for one student. For the cost of a few lattes, you can help alleviate food insecurity in your community! 

Last year over 25,000 Pantry Packs went out to students in our community. Our goal for this campaign is to raise $60,000. Please help us continue to make this possible. Thank you so much for your support. Don't forget to apply at your company for matching funds! To donate and support hungry kids in your community, please click here or view their flyer here

Fundraiser- Ice Skate in Bellevue and raise money for your school

November 23-December 21, 2018 & January 1-13, 2019

The Bellevue Downtown Association is thrilled to provide a turn-key fundraising opportunity for schools in the area, including Eastlake High School! This will be held at the 2018-2019 Bellevue Downtown Ice Rink presented by Alaska Mileage Plan. Each year, the ice rink is set up as a temporary structure at the Bellevue Downtown Park. This rink features the region’s largest covered open-air ice skating experience. Admission is $15/person (includes skate rental), and $10/person for ages eight and under. Details about the rink here

The Bellevue Downtown Association is offering $3 from every paying visitor from our school who notify rink staff upon arrival what school they are affiliated with. A tally is kept of the total number of visits from the dates listed above and a check to Eastlake High School will be forwarded by the end of January 2019. For example, if you have 50 people skate on December 3 and 45 on January 8, you will have raised $285 for our school. So easy! You were going to go ice skating anyway, right?! 

Ice skating opens to the public on Friday, November 23 and closes on Sunday, January 13 and is a part of the Bellevue Magic Season. Families can make it a night of holiday fun with a visit to Snowflake Lane at The Bellevue Collection and stroll through Garden d’Lights at the Bellevue Botanical Garden.
