This past year has been historic. Our children, all Shoreline SD students, teachers, & families will forever be changed from the year of remote learning. I am thankful for the support of our community partners, the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation, all our staff, and especially our educators, for doing their best to ensure our students are safe, connected, and learned, even if not inside a school classroom together. Because of the remote school year, our school community needs support now more than ever and private unrestricted dollars are critical in providing enrichment and supporting needs where public funds cannot be used.

The following Shoreline Schools Foundation grants are ones that I have participated in as a Shoreline educator or have seen first-hand the positive lasting impact it has on ALL our students, including my own children.

*Grocery gift cards for families dealing with food insecurity.

*Field trips: Special bus transportation can cost upwards of $600.

*Library books: Each school library has a budget, but one library quality novel runs $18-$25. Literature updates in our schools in order to recognize diversity, equity and inclusion is important and expensive.

*Funding for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion events both in our schools and our community: SEED conference and Black Voices events.

*Summer learning STEM Camp for 4th-8th graders. 

*Remote school: Hotspots for families with poor or no internet connection, earbuds for students who did not have a quiet place to Zoom, additional support for families in need.

Any support you can provide to our students will be appreciated and will help all in the Shoreline school community.

I'd be happy to chat more about Shoreline Schools Foundation goals. Thank you so much for your support.
