A few weeks ago, our HEART Team hosted an amazing student and family community event: STEAM Night! Students and families participated in a variety of engaging STEAM activities and even received a goodie bag with a free book. 📚✨

The event broke the record for the most attended event at West Seattle Elementary, with over 400 people in attendance!
A huge thank you to our partners and and our volunteers for helping make this event such a success.
