On Thursday, Evergreen Middle School (EMS) associate principal Anne Balicki and new principal Robert Johnson accepted the first shipment in a donation of 100 desks from the Seattle Seahawks.

United Way of King County contacted the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) earlier in the week asking if it could use these lightly used desks from the Seahawks organization. EMS is expecting more students this fall, so the district would have spent more than $11,000 to purchase 100 desks for the school to accommodate the additional students. The desks from the Seahawks are very similarly sized to what the district had planned to order.

LWSD extends a huge thank you to both the Seattle Seahawks and United Way of King County for this donation.
