WHAT IS PTSA OUTREACH?
Our PTSA Outreach program fosters an awareness of the needs in our school community as well as an awareness of the resources in the greater Issaquah community. By sharing information from local organizations and the Issaquah School District, the PTSA network can easily bring together those who are seeking assistance with those organizations and individuals contributing resources. Be sure to check below for events and programs happening now, as well as ways in which you or your organization can help.
