I think K-5 STEM would be a great option, I don’t personally know much about leasing space from SPS however. Can anyone provide us with a contact person that could help us get the ball rolling in terms of discussing the possibility? Maybe PTA or the principal?
My preliminary research on the SPS website looked like the application for leasing space asks for how many children and ages you plan to serve, like it was geared towards day-cares or rec sports. It also requires an supporting signature from the school principal whom we would need to get in contact with. Our band VP has been great reaching out to many of the contacts I’ve received from WSB members so as long as we could get a specific person to reach out to we would definitely look into the possibility.
Personally my largest concern with Boren specifically is with all the school reconstruction in West Seattle I could imagine there will be lots of shuffling around as Boren is used to house other buildings simultaneously with STEM. Though the building looks huge when I drive by!
I do however like the idea that with STEM looking to expand to K-8 I would love it if our presence provided some interest in the students to go to Aviation HS.
Also I have to say, the great responses I’ve gotten so far actually made one band member say they’d reconsider visiting West Seattle more often, they had no idea how tight knit this community is!!
