On Monday, January 15th, Genesee Hill joined families from across Washington in Olympia for the WA PTA Focus on Advocacy Day. Our group of West Seattle families met with our three District 34 legislators in Olympia: Rep. Emily Alvarado, Senator Joe Nguyen, and Rep. Joe Fitzgibbon and spoke specifically to 1) Addressing critical gaps in education funding (counselors, nurses, reading and math intervention, etc.) and 2) Preventing and reducing gun violence.
