'Sip & Chat' is the Seattle Special Education PTSA's community gathering with families of students with disabilities where we come together to:
•Listen to our community needs.
•Support and share information, resources and provide a sounding board, create a sense of belonging, develop relationships.

All are welcome to join, membership is not required. We are looking forward to see you there!
