Hello PNBS Eastside Families!
This is a friendly reminder to please do not leave your car in the parking lot unless you are parked in a PNB designated parking spot. We have had several situations where cars have been left in the pick up line as well as in the middle of the driveway entrance/exit and this causes back ups and congestion with the parking lot traffic. Anytime you are sitting and waiting for your student we encourage you to turn your car off but please do not leave your car unless you are in a parking spot.
Thank you for understanding and helping to keep the traffic flow smooth!

PNB School students in levels VI, VII, and VIII are invited to join us as Snowflakes in the McCaw Hall lobby and greet audiences at select Nutcracker performances!
Sign up for a lobby shift here: Lobby Snowflake Sign-Up Link!
Volunteer slots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and one slot is allowed per student. Please do not sign up if you have a PNB School or academic class that conflicts with your shift, or if you are performing in The Nutcracker or volunteering backstage.
Each shift begins an hour and a half before the corresponding Nutcracker performance, and lasts through intermission of that performance. A Pacific Northwest Ballet employee will meet you at the front doors of McCaw Hall (in the Northeast corner of the building) at the beginning of your shift. Volunteers will wear Snowflake costumes and walk around the lobby taking photos with patrons. After your shift, volunteers can stay and watch the rest of The Nutcracker performance with a complimentary ticket!
Are all the volunteer slots full? Email pnbschool@pnb.org to be added to the waitlist!
Thank you!
