What is the Alliance for Education Community Luncheon?
The Convening Seattle Community Luncheon gathers the Seattle community to raise funds and increase awareness of pressing educational issues facing Seattle students, families and educators. Join us in person for lunch and conversation in support of the Alliance’s work on behalf of Seattle Public Schools.
This year’s key conversation is on providing immediate basic needs for students that fall outside of a traditional school budget, and how our community can seek additional alignment in giving our Seattle Public Schools the resources they need to thrive. With your participation and donation, we can provide vital resources to students, educators and families in Seattle Public Schools.
