Members of the Back to School Consortium:
Hopelink; City of Shoreline; Ronald United Methodist Church; The Works of Shoreline PTA Council; Shoreline School District and the Readiness to Learn Program; Shoreline Community Care; Center for Human Services; Turning Point and the Dale Turner Family YMCA.

LGBTQ Potluck Video!!
"It’s hard to believe that the LGBTQ dinner was over a month ago. To this day, we are still hearing from families and staff who attended the event that left with a deeper connection to staff, to community members, to their peers and to Shoreline School District. Thank you for all your support in fostering a safe space for the LGBTQ and allies community. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, or better attendees! It was a touching, inspiring, and bonding event that we ...hope to continue for years to come.
...Here is the final product of the Video Montage that Walter Zamojski completed for our use - with Curtis Campbell's photos as well."
-Kim Darcy and Dr. Tanisha Brandon-Felder
