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.
Volunteer to sell at the West Seattle Farmers’ Market
We need volunteers to help staff our event booths!
12/7 - Kennedy Craft Fair
Kennedy Craft Fair is a great opportunity to sell our unique Door Decor creations and build community. Also, its indoors so you avoid the harsh weather.
12/8, 12/15, 12/22 - WS Farmers Market
We need your help to sell our famous winter decor at the West Seattle Farmers Market!
The Door Decor workshop schedule is now live! Anyone is welcome to make decor whenever the workshop is open, but to encourage community building within grade bands, we’ve scheduled the following dates and times. 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.
Follow Pathfinder PTSA on Facebook for ad-hoc workshop hours.
