St. Edward Seattle Parish School

St. Edward goes greener

St. Edward School has developed a strong environmental focus over the past several years by installing solar panels on the school roof, improving our recycling, growing a school garden and sending our 5th and 6th grade classes to Camp IslandWood each year. In 2012, we are taking another step toward better sustainability by launching a composting program.

We received a grant in 2011 from Seattle Public Utilities and Cedar Grove Composting to provide food-waste collection materials and subsidized yard-waste pick up, and we are ready to begin!

Watch this space for photos from our composting assembly, and for updates on our progress to be certified as a Washington Green School.

Camp IslandWood

The 5th and 6th grade classes, along with their teachers and parent chaperones, will attend Camp IslandWood on April 16-19. Camp IslandWood is a "school in the woods" that immerses students in the cycle of sustainability from planting through growth, harvest and composting. They also have the opportunity to study water environments, and engage in many different team-building exercises outdoors.

This is an amazing experience every year, and both classes return to school eager to share their new knowledge with the rest of the classes. They become leaders in their classes and in the school for sustainability, and are excellent ambassadors to their families and cultural communities.

Spring Fling and Concert

Thank you to all the parents who helped at Spring Fling, and to all the wonderful food our families provided! It was an awesome celebration!

Thank you also to Arts in Motion for the fabulous music and dance program. What a thrill to see all grades enjoying the music and the show they gave their parents!

A special thank you to Wendy Stephenson and Michelle Flores for leading our event.

OUR KINDERGARTEN CLASS IS ALMOST FULL FOR 2012-2013. If you want your child to attend St. Edward kindergarten, we encourage you to register now, as the class usually fills up before school is out for the summer.

Open enrollment is underway

We invite you to bring your students to St. Edward School for the 2012-2013 school year. St. Edward School serves pre-K through 8th grade. You are welcome to come to the school office and pick up an enrollment packet, or call the school office at 206-725-1774 to receive enrollment materials in the mail.

We are unable to offer tuition assistance to new families at this time.
It is a blessing for us to be able to say that our first grade class is filling up quickly, so please register soon to secure your child's place.

Centennial Pledge Drive

Bury the Debt, Grow the Endowment

St. Edward School offers a robust academic environment and rich cultural experience that combine to produce life-long learners and good citizens. Like so many other Catholic schools, we work hard to increase our enrollment and ensure the school's financial health.
You can help! We are currently paying off sizable retrofitting loans used to update our building to current earthquake standards. Paying down this debt would allow us to rebuild our endowment and invigorate our resources. Click on the Centennial Pledge Drive flyer to learn more.
