Sunday Forum on Lowell Elementary, Fall 2024

with No Comments

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 10:10–10:50 A.M., Bloedel Hall

Lowell Elementary is a vibrant place of challenges and strengths. Students speak dozens of languages and join from across the globe, but as the designated elementary school for numerous Seattle homeless shelters, nearly one in three students are unhoused. Please join us in hosting a panel of Lowell staff for a forum on ways the Saint Mark’s community can support these students.


UPDATE: See some photos from the presentations below! (click to enlarge). The slides from the presentation can be seen here.

UPDATE #2:  Following the forum, he principal and social workers at Lowell were asked what the greatest current needs are for the students, and they responded with an Amazon Wish List of undies, socks, and gloves. (Note that this wish list for immediate needs is not the same as the holiday Giving Tree with opportunities to provide toys and other presents. The Giving Tree will be launched at the Alternative Gift Market in late November.)

UPDATE #3: All the wishlist items have been purchased and delivered! The leadership of Lowell school expressed heartfelt thanks for the generosity of the cathedral community.
