5TH GRADE SIBLINGS MUST APPLY FOR THE LOTTERY
If you have a 5th grade sibling who wants to attend International for 6th grade next year, you must apply during the lottery application window: December 7, 9:00 AM–January 15, 4:30 PM. Applying during this time guarantees a spot in next year’s 6th grade class. If you apply late, your child will not be able to attend until their 7th grade year, space permitting.

SEATTLE EMPOWERING ATHLETES
Seattle Empowering Athletes is a nonprofit organization. We consist of Interlake and Roosevelt High School students with the goal of building a strong community to unite athletes, share experiences/tips, as well as provide for those in need with sports equipment and food donations.
Our mission is to unite athletes across a variety of sports in the Pacific Northwest and to build a supportive community that will endure beyond this time of isolation. We strive to encourage mutual recognition between athletes and motivate each other to persist in the face of uncertainty to continue pursuing our passions.
To accomplish our mission, we accept interviews that we will write into articles to share your stories and connect with one another. We also share tips and information to keep everyone healthy and in line. We offer volunteer hours for students looking for volunteer opportunities as well.
