Northshore Schools Foundation Launches 365 Club
Launch Party, October 2, 2009, 7 p.m.
North Creek Event Center

Bothell, WA – The name has changed, the mission has not! Enhancing educational opportunities for all Northshore School District students, the Northshore Schools Foundation, formerly Northshore Public Education Foundation, is launching a new initiative, the 365 Club, along with it’s new name.

Founded in 1995, the Foundation provided a way for parents to respond to the educational needs of the day. Facing the current environment of increased challenges and decreased funding to public education, Northshore Schools Foundation is launching the 365 Club to help sustain and enrich the quality of education by funding the acquisition of new teaching materials (including new textbooks), assisting teachers with costs associated with National Board Certification, and promoting innovative teacher classroom grants throughout the district.  Playing an increasingly important role in supplementing the funding needs of the Northshore School District, the Northshore Schools Foundation will have an increased presence in local schools and in the broader community.

A launch party is planned, Friday, October 2, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. at the North Creek Event Center on the Cascadia Community College/UW- Bothell campus with wine tasting, dessert, a raffle and a short program with speakers Larry Francois, Northshore School District Superintendent, Rob Pickering, Northshore Schools Foundation Board President and Ed Todd, Northshore Schools Foundation Executive Director. The 365 Club will support education 365 days a year and by participating in the new initiative with just $1 a day, members will help further the education of almost 20,000 Northshore students from pre-school through high school who report every morning to school ready to learn.

Join key educators and administrators, government officials along with friends and supporters of the Northshore Schools Foundation at the launch party and learn more about becoming a 365 Club member. Charter memberships are also available. The event is free and open to the public, no RSVP required. The North Creek Event Center is located at 18325 Campus Way NE, Bothell, WA 98011. There is a $3 parking garage fee.

The Northshore Schools Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that operates independently from the Northshore School District. Since 2003, the Foundation has awarded over one hundred classroom grants totaling more than $100,000. In 2008, the District was presented with a $90,000 grant for textbooks and teaching materials for core curriculum advanced learning classes at the secondary level and leveled readers and new textbooks at the elementary level. The programs of the Northshore Schools Foundation are funded by private contributions.
