Coffee Fundraiser Has Started
What could be easier than selling delicious locally roasted coffee to friends and family in and around Seattle? People love the micro-local vibe, the way they can support both a local business AND a student in the Ballard Performing Arts program, and they love the custom Ballard label on each bag.
Details
- Use the link below on SchoolPay to order your favorite coffee.
- Share this link with friends, family, and neighbors and include your own special touch to generate sales.
- Anyone can be a "guest" for this purchase and no SchoolPay account is required to order.
- There is a space on the form to add your student's name (for credit). If that space is left blank, the credit will go to the general BPA program.
For every $14 bag with a custom BPA branded sticker purchased, the student named will be credited $6 into their BP account. Proceeds with no student named will go into the BPA general fund.
Coffee sales will be online from April 18 - 29th. Order through this link (a SchoolPay account is not required to order):
Choose from ground or whole beans for the following coffee types, made for us by Caffè Appassionato:
Arietta
A mellow and smooth Medium roast, accentuating floral and fruity undertones
Tempest

Espresso

University Kiwanis Pitzer/Weeks Vocal Scholarship
This is the 44th year that the University Kiwanis Club will offer a voice scholarship in honor of Carl Pitzer and Norman Weeks. Originally they gave the scholarship to only graduating seniors, but they now accept applications from all students currently in high school, including those graduating in June of 2022. The scholarship rules provide that a scholarship of $2,500 may be offered each year to the most deserving vocal student, to use for voice lessons. This year they will also offer $1,000 prizes to the 2nd and 3rd runners-up.
Each applicant must participate in a concert on the afternoon of May 28, 2022. (Please note that day is part of Memorial Day weekend.) Each singer will sing two songs (one classical and one standard or from the musical theatre repertoire) for the audition committee and audience. (An accompanist will be provided.) Applicants must also submit a complete set of papers detailing their background.
All applications must be postmarked by May 10, 2022. See Ms. Rowley for an application if you're interested or click here.
