26 Feb Northshore Teachers Receive over $10,000 to Support Classroom Project in the “For the Love of Education campaign”
$10,326 Contributed to Directly Fund Northshore School District Classroom Projects and Teacher Supply Needs
67 donors responded during a three-week Northshore Schools Foundation campaign
Bothell, Wash. (February 26, 2021) – How do you keep inspiring students and actively engage student learning during a pandemic? Northshore School District teachers and staff have been figuring that out in real-time. And for the first three weeks of February, the community helped support them by funding specific projects and wish lists.
Donors really showed NSD educators some love during these difficult days. More than $6108 was raised from 67 community donors during this short time period. The Northshore Schools Foundation granted $ 4218 to fill in the gaps left by donors to make the additional projects a reality.
Projects were featured on Northshore Gives, a special platform available to Northshore School District teachers and staff who want to request support for specific needs.
These projects were fully funded by community donors:
- Book Bags for First Grade Students (Canyon Creek Elementary)
- Arts & Crafts, STEAM, and Hobby Books (Kokanee Elementary)
- 100th Day Kindergarten Project (Woodmoor Elementary)
- Arts, Crafts, and Maker Books (Woodmoor Elementary)
These projects were funded with funds from the community and the Northshore Schools Foundation.
- Individualized phonics and language practice (Wellington Elementary)
- Decodable Readers for Student Success (Woodmoor Elementary)
- Fostering Future Innovators – Early Childhood (Head Start and ECEAP preschool) STEAM Learning
- Revitalize our Nonfiction! (Northshore Middle School)
“We love the Northshore Gives Platform because it allows donors to support projects that they care about directly, said Carmin Dalziel Executive Director of the Northshore Schools Foundation. “This combined funding model really stretches our dollars and allows us to impact more students and involve more Community members. It’s pretty exciting. “
The Mobile Medication and Treatment Cart for NCHS Student Care Project and Bringing 5th grade Camp to students virtually (Arrowhead Elementary) received partial funding from the community and although it did not meet its goal, the funds raised will be applied to the purchase of the medical cart.
NSD educators were also invited to share supply wish lists using Amazon. Anyone can purchase items for shipment directly to teachers. Lists will remain posted here through March 31 unless fully funded sooner.
Northshore Educators are invited to apply for funds using the Northshore Gives Platform or by writing a grant request any time between October 1 and May 1 each school year. For more information visit Request Support | Northshore Schools Foundation
