Door Decor

It is time for one of the most unique and creative of Pathfinder's traditions, the annual PTSA Door Decor fundraiser!

Our Goal:

Our goal is  to raise $12,000, which goes directly to costs of camping trips and outdoor education for all Pathfinder students. It truly takes our whole community to pull this off. The Door Decor workshop and fundraising efforts run mid-November through mid-December. All decor is handmade by students and families of Pathfinder, and every piece is truly unique.

Here are a few of the MANY ways you can help this season.

Donate greens and ornamentals

If you have, or find, fallen evergreen branches, overgrown holly, salal ready for trimming, or any other ornamental plants or supplies that could be used in these creations, contact us using the button opposite, or bring them to the covered area next to the gym starting November 15th. Here are examples of evergreens and ornamentals we’ve used in the past:

  • Noble Fir Cedar 

  • Evergreens of all kinds

  • Eucalyptus

  • Poppy Seed Heads

  • Nandina

  • Hebe

  • Beauty Berry

  • Variegated Holly with White or Yellow Edges

  • Golden and White Edged Euonymus

  • Ligularia Seed Heads

  • Hydrangea Heads

  • Blue Juniper

  • Red and Yellow twig

  • Dogwood

  • Spring Bouquet Viburnum

  • Salal

  • Pussy Willows

  • Curly Willow Branches

  • Pine and Scotch Broom

  • Pampas grass

  • Rose Hips

Volunteer to sell at the West Seattle Farmers’ Market

Let us know if you’re interested in staffing our booth at the West Seattle Farmers’ Market on Sundays in December. Click to launch our volunteering form and we’ll be sure to get in touch once we have our Market schedule. 

Participate in a Decor Workshop!

Keep an eye out for more information on classroom workshops and open workshop hours. Even if you have never made a wreath or swag before, we encourage all to participate. We have plenty of experienced community members to help and guide if needed.  

Collect Pre-Orders from friends and family

This is a fundraiser after all! Click the link and share our store with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and they get the first pick of our handmade decor before they go on public sale.

Prefer to shop in person? There will be multiple opportunities to buy a wreath after the pre-order period, including the West Seattle farmers market, and from one of our wreath making workshops.
