Volunteers Wanted!

There are many different ways to get involved and support our students at Puesta del Sol!

Whether you have just a little time or more to spare, there are opportunities for everyone.

Please check out our open volunteer positions here. Some of these programs will be on hold until we are back at the school in person, but it doesn't hurt to have volunteers lined up and begin planning. If you have questions about any roles, or you have a new program idea (perhaps something that would enhance remote learning), please email edenhancement@puestadelsolpta.org.

Support Local Businesses
Let's support each other!

There are many businesses within our Puesta del Sol community.

If you are looking for any of the following, please consider these businesses as they are members of our own school community:

-Dairy-

Smith Brothers Farms, a dairy that provides home delivery of milk and other food and beverage products



-Dentist-

Dr. Nolan Gerlach - Pediatric Dentist 
Bellevue Pediatric Dentistry
425-614-3777


-Executive Coaching-

chiefofstaff.expert

Program Information:
We are in the process of compiling a directory of businesses of the Puesta del Sol community. 

If you are interested in having your business listed, please fill out this form, or send an email to newsletter@puestadelsolpta.org.

Please provide your name, your relationship to student/staff member of Puesta del Sol, the business name and type of business, website link, and contact information.

This is free and intended to be a resource for our families. Besides being members, the PTA has no other affiliation with these businesses. The idea of this came to fruition as we are in the midst of a pandemic and many businesses are struggling. One tends to support businesses they have a connection to, but if you don't know there is a connection then the business may be overlooked. We are just bringing awareness to who is part of our school community.
