This year, Westside School is hosting the 25th annual auction on Saturday, March 22 at the Seattle Design Center. This year’s theme is Westside Musical, and its focus is to help raise money for the arts program in order to help buy more musical instruments! The middle school classes are participating through a community service donation, as opposed to the usual art project. Students decided that they wanted to not only give to the school, but the community around us as well. The 5th graders will be working with Mary's Place, the 6th graders are helping with Westside Baby, the 7th graders are also collaborating with Mary's Place and the 8th graders are volunteering at the food bank. At the auction parents will be asked to donate money corresponding to the hours of work students put in. The MS students hope this year’s community service effort will be a huge success and will shows all of the time and energy they have put in to it.
