Canopy Scholars Bloom Lunch
Saturday, June 3 | 11:30 AM
Buy tickets here

You are invited to our Bloom Lunch, where we will recognize and celebrate the Canopy Scholars community: our scholars and their families, volunteers, and supporters! It’s an opportunity to connect and learn about what makes Canopy Scholars so special. 

This is not your average charity luncheon. Here’s what makes it different: 

  • Our amazing YMCA partners will kick off the festivities with a fun activity.
  • We will be serving a menu inspired by the cuisine native to many of our scholars.
  • We will recognize some of the community members that have made a big impact.
  • We will honor Dr. Rose Madrid Swetman, who gave Canopy Scholars its roots. 

Just as the canopy of a forest shelters and nourishes all the plants within, our organization comes together to create an environment where each of our students can bloom and flourish with tutoring, STEM, and community building programs. 

Similar to our holiday wreath-making event, we are excited to bring together the different parts of the Canopy community that help us thrive.

Bring your friends and host a group (discount with 8+ tickets), so we can continue to grow our community! Please note this is an adults-only celebration.

CANOPY // A Community of Scholars

Canopy Scholars* provides tutoring and STEM programs to a diverse population of Shoreline Elementary School students, prioritizing students participating in the National School Lunch Program. A canopy is a living community of diverse types of trees growing together. They are sheltered from strong winds and storms, able to develop anchoring roots, branch into individual shapes, capture light and rain, produce leaves and seeds, and send water back into the atmosphere which creates rain.

At CANOPY, we provide an environment for students to grow into their full potential as scholars through tutoring, STEM, and community building programs. We have a stellar team of tutors as diverse as our students, and we build relationships at every level – with students, parents, teachers.

  • TUTORING — Tutors work alongside students to strengthen math and reading skills and tackle homework challenges. Students receive more than 100 hours of one-on-one tutoring.
  • STEM — STEM programs help students strengthen skills in science, technology, engineering and math in a fun and creative environment. 
  • COMMUNITY — A key part of Canopy is the fun community that develops between students, their parents, and their tutors as they grow to become scholars.

We invite you to join us in making a real difference in the lives of students today!

*Canopy Scholars is the new name for Turning Point Seattle, representing the community we have created together that supports, protects, and enables growth.

The Need

Shoreline Schools are rapidly increasing in diversity. There are 75 different languages spoken at home and more than 48% are students of color. The opportunity gap for students facing racial or economic inequity is an increasing reality throughout the school district.

“The students we serve are among the most diverse in the Shoreline School District – they are bicultural and bilingual, the first in their families to navigate the U.S. school culture. Our work at CANOPY is to ensure that these brilliant and underserved students grow into their full academic potential.” - Lynn Newcombe, Executive Director
