Please help Tesla STEM create an amazing Star Wars themed basket for the annual Lake Washington PTSA Council's scholarship basket auction. Every PTSA in the Lake Washington School District submits a basket for the auction to help raise scholarships for the graduating seniors. This is a silent auction that runs from November 7th through December 5th at the Lake Washington School District Resource Center. Everyone is welcome to visit the resource center to bid on the baskets. This year, Tesla STEM PTSA, is submitting a Star Wars themed basket in honor of the end of the Star Wars saga. The final Star Wars movie is being released this December. Please consider donating Star Wars themed items such as Lego sets, toys, games, DVD movies (Blu-ray preferred), mugs, movie passes or gift cards to see the final movie, etc. Any Star Wars themed item would be fantastic!
