October is the kick off for the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation Fall Campaign for Kids!
Your donations can support and enhance the education of every K-12 student in every school in the Shoreline School District. Donations from the past year allowed SPSF to fund a large variety of needs district wide: from IXL Math grants in the elementary grades to music enrichment,tutoring and author programs in middle and high schools, to Bike Rodeos for our special needs students and the funding of Elementary and Secondary Summer School. SPSF’s commitmentto expand the education of every child in the district means funding large and small needs on a regular basis. There are many opportunities for you to donate during the next month. You can donate online now by visiting www.shorelinefoundation.org , click the link that will be sent to you through your schools emails or answer your phone on Sunday, November 3rd in our culminating “Calling for Kids Phone-A-Thon”! Donations online eliminate the need for a phone call to your home on November 3rd. Your donation will help SPSF reach their Fall Campaign for Kids goal of $40,000 and provide resources to help all students achieve their full academic potential. Thank you for sharing in the deep commitment to improving the Shoreline Public Schools through the Shoreline Public School Foundation and strengthening our community. . Thank you to Bob Rivers, Butternut and friends for an awesome concert last night. Thank you to everyone for coming out and donating to the our Family Services projects. The children of Shoreline truly appreciate all of your support. Photos: Chris Sharratt
