Auction Planning Has Begun!
The LWGMS April 24 auction - an important community and fundraising event - is six months away! Procurement packets have been distributed to most families - if you haven't received yours, please contact or see Shannon. Also, please feel free to pick up additional procurement forms in the school office at any time.
We will periodically update families regarding procurement progress, with a running list of the establishments that have supported us with donations and/or sponsorships (as well as those that have declined), and general action news. Please feel to keep us updated on your procurement progress, or send any questions you may have regarding anything-auction to gro.smgwl|noitcua#gro.smgwl|noitcua.
If you're interested in helping to plan the auction, we will certainly have a job for you! Please contact Shannon or our Auction Chair, Michelle Huse (moc.oohay|esuhhm#moc.oohay|esuhhm), with any questions you may have.
Thank you!

Golf
The First Tee of Greater Seattle is offering a unique opportunity for girls to learn golf and life skills this spring. The First Tee uses the game of golf to empower girls through its character education curriculum. Our goal is not only to introduce girls to a game they can play their whole lives by use the game as a tool for teaching The First Tee's "Nine Core Values:" Honesty, Integrity, Sportsmanship, Respect, Judgment, Confidence, Responsibility, Perseverance, and Courtesy. Golf is an ideal sport for young girls to learn. Not only are there hundreds of college scholarships that go unused each year for women golfers, it is an individual sport that naturally introduced girls to a host of mentors while providing healthy exercise.
