Welcome to our new weekly volunteer engagement and event opportunity update!


As a Seattle Public Schools Option School focused on Expeditionary Learning, Thornton Creek counts on your participation and engagement to help carry forward the amazing programs, activities and classroom support for our school to thrive. Volunteering is fun and helps build a welcoming school environment. It’s also a great way to get to know other parents and caregivers, teachers, and staff at Thornton Creek!
