When Lake Washington students returned to school, they had online math support, were able to build robots, use negative space printers and learn digital photography and moviemaking — with funding provided by Lake Washington Schools Foundation. For the 2015-16 school year, the foundation granted the district $300,000 supporting district-wide initiatives and providing classroom tools that help all students succeed.

According to Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce, “Lake Washington Schools Foundation is a key partner for the Lake Washington School District. They help us build pathways to student success by funding programs that would not be possible without their support.”

Strong community financial support has enabled the foundation to continue to fund district wide initiatives and programs that impact each of the district’s more than 27,000 students.

Community members interested in supporting student growth and success are encouraged to take part in the foundation’s fall campaign, ALL in for KIDS and help the foundation reach its goal of raising $100,000 by Dec. 31. Visit www.lwsf.org/donate to give.
