What is the Parent Teacher Organization?

We’re a group of parents and teachers—like you—who care deeply about our kids and our school. We’re here to spark ideas, bring people together, and make sure every family feels welcome to join in. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing: to create a better experience for our children and a stronger Lynnwood community.

    Hi! I’m Shaleah. I have two kiddos currently at Lynnwood Elementary and one at Lynnwood High School. I’m so excited to join the PTO Board this year and help continue on with supporting and bringing together our wonderful LWE community. If you see me around, please say hi. We’re all in this together!

  • Carol Kim

    VICE PRESIDENT

    Hello everyone! This year I have a 3rd grader and a kindergartner attending LWE. I've been telling my older son that once his brother starts school, I would volunteer more, and here I am. Looking forward to serving on the PTO Board and am excited for this school year.

  • Ashley Speight

    SECRETARY

    Hi, I’m Ashley, your new PTO secretary. I have a daughter in 1st grade here at LWE. I am a project and training manager by day, as well as a local (event planning) business owner. I’m excited to be part of this great community!

  • Heidi Freni

    CO-TREASURER

    Hi, I'm Heidi! I have a 6th grader at LWE and a middle schooler at Brier Terrace. I've been on the LWE PTO Board since 2018. I love to help out with our Drama Club, and I also substitute as a paraeducator occasionally. Make sure to wave if you see me at crossing guard! My favorite thing about PTO is bringing to life our kids' "best days ever"—pool parties, carnival, ice cream truck, field day, etc.

FAQs

  • Not at all! Any way you can help is appreciated. You might be able to make it to one meeting, help set up for an event, or even just offer a connection to support with a fundraiser. Every bit helps and makes a big difference!

  • Funds go back to the school and back to our students. We help make sure our educators have everything they need to set the kids up for success. We fund school events like the Carnival, Movie Nights, etc. And we also help make more field trips possible.

  • We’d love to hear your ideas! Please head over to our contact page and share your thoughts with us there. Every suggestion helps us make our school community stronger!

  • The Book Fair is a fun event where students and families can browse and purchase a wide variety of books right at school. It’s a chance to discover new stories, encourage a love of reading, and help raise funds that go directly back to support our school and classrooms.

  • Come join us for an entertaining Movie Night with friends, laughter, and a cozy evening at school! Students and families are invited to bring blankets, wear comfy clothes, and settle in for a family-friendly movie on the big screen. The PTO will have popcorn, candy, and drinks available for purchase at the concession stand—perfect movie night snacks! It’s a great chance to hang out with friends, relax, and enjoy a night of community together.

  • Celebrate the end of the school year with us at our School Carnival—a fun-filled event for the whole family! We’ll have delicious food, exciting games, awesome prizes, and raffles you won’t want to miss. Take your best shot at the dunk tank, test your luck at the booths, and enjoy an evening of laughter, community, and celebration as we wrap up another amazing school year together. Bring your family, friends from school, and plenty of student spirit—it’s going to be a night to remember!

  • Lace up your skates, grab your friends, and come roll into a night of fun with our school family! The rink at Lynnwood Bowl & Skate will be reserved for our school community, giving everyone the chance to enjoy a night of skating, music, and fun together. This is a wonderful opportunity for kids to hang out with friends and for families to build connections—all while having a blast on the rink. Don’t forget to bring your energy and your best skating moves!

  • Skip the cooking and support LWE at the same time! On our Dine Out Nights, the PTO partners with local restaurants to host a fun, family-friendly evening out. Families are welcome to dine in or order takeout at the featured restaurant, and a portion of the night’s sales will be donated directly back to our school. It’s an easy (and tasty!) way to connect with other school families while helping raise funds that go right back into programs and events for our students.

  • To volunteer or visit during the school day, you must first be approved by the Edmonds School District. This requirement applies to volunteering with the PTO, helping in your child's classroom, assisting on picture day, or any time you leave the school office while children are present.
