At Orca, We All Belong. The Orca K-8 PTSA works together with the Orca K-8 community to educate the whole child with a focus on social justice and environmental science. We strive to create an environment where students understand not only the connections between academic subjects, but also the connections between people.

We do this important work by funding core enrichment programs, like the Orca Garden, Speak With Purpose, Race Forum, and the Inclusion Committee. We work to ensure equity by supplying every teacher, the art room, gym, library, and health rooms with a stipend for supplies. We host community events to help bring us all together. We help connect caregivers with opportunities to volunteer. But we can’t do any of this without you. In community we find strength. By coming together, we are able to achieve more than we can alone.

There are many ways you can help, large and small. They all add up to make a huge difference, and allow us to support our teachers, administration, students, and caregivers. Please become a member today or reach out directly to our volunteer coordinator Karen West at volunteer@orca-k8-ptsa.com
