2025 Spring Classroom Grant Winners
Northshore Schools Foundation is proud to continue supporting educators’ needs, ideas and innovation in the classroom to bring an enhanced and inspired learning experience to NSD students.
For our spring cycle, we’re awarding $31,000 to 30 educators across 15 Northshore schools, including $7,000 specifically for Title 1 schools. We are also excited to support early learners in four Head Start classrooms, during this spring round of grants. The Foundation is dedicated to empowering educators to make a lasting, positive educational impact in Northshore students!
NSD Educators: Are you a past or spring grant winner?
We love pictures and details about your project!
Educator feedback is essential for helping us expand our grant funding to reach even more Northshore students and classrooms. By actively sharing feedback, educators empower the Foundation’s donors and sponsors to see the true value of their contributions, which in turn allows us to allocate more funds to classroom and district grants, ultimately increasing the overall funds for Northshore grants.
There are three ways to share feedback on your classroom or district grant. Feel free to choose one, two, or even three methods that suit you best!
Thank you notes
Thank you notes written by students and/or educators. Send thank you notes from your students to let us know how your project is impacting them. You can send thank you notes via intraoffice mail to Cara Anderson-Ahrens at Admin/NSDF. We like to send these directly to donors and sponsors, so please ensure they are suitable for mailing. Have students sign with their first name only and mention what was purchased.
Impact Reports
Impact reports are a great way to share how the funds you received contributed to Northshore student success. Email us a form or create your own outlining the project and its outcomes.: info@nsdfoundation.org.
Photos
We’d love to see pictures of your project! Share photos of yourself, the awarded item, and/or students. Photos showing the backs of students’ heads or their hands do not require a photo release form. However, photos that include students’ faces require a photo release form signed by all parents and/or guardians of the students shown in the image. Email us for the photo release form: info@nsdfoundation.org
If you chose to send photos that include students’ faces, please ensure the following steps are completed: Complete the photo release form, have it completed by all parents or guardians, and submit it by either sending it via intraoffice mail to Cara Anderson-Ahrens at Admin/NSDF or emailing it to info@nsdfoundation.org.
Email all photos to info@nsdfoundation.org in JPEG or PDF format. Please note that Northshore School District SharePoint documents cannot be accessed.
