Bryant Online Auction 2025

Mark your calendars for the Bryant Online Auction starting on Friday, March 28th at 8AM and ending on Friday, April 4th at 8PM.

Let’s open up those wallets, warm up those credit cards, and get ready to support our favorite students, teachers, staff and school. And while it’s always a thrill to catch a deal, let’s remember who we’re doing this for. Let’s be gracious to our generous donors; let’s make sure we’re giving what they are worth (or more!).

Student Hunger Service Project

The Bryant Student Hunger Service Project aims to provide a hands-on opportunity for our community to learn about and help students facing food insecurity every day in Seattle.
 
Nearly one-third of Seattle Public School students receive Free-and-Reduced Price Meals while they’re at school. But on the weekends and school breaks, students need extra assistance to assure that hunger isn’t an obstacle to learning during the week. Continuing Bryant’s partnership with the Hunger Intervention Program non-profit, we need your help to collect food for Healthy HIP Packs and then attend a grade level packing party where the whole family is invited to help assemble meal packs.
 
Contact Nina Mettler for information or to help.

January 8 Legislative Panel

State Representative Gerry Pollet and others, will be joining the Bryant community on a panel on January 8th, to share their insights on the future of K-12 funding in Olympia this legislative session, and the best ways the Bryant community can help advocate for increased funding for Washington state schools.  
 
When: January 8, 7-8pm
Where: On-line
 

RSVP here

 
Currently Washington state public schools are significantly underfunded, leading to limited resources, budget deficits and school closures. To ensure our children get the education they deserve, and that we aren’t again in a position next year where we are worried about school closures and rezoning, we need more funding. Come hear how we can make that happen at this event!
