Shoreline Public Schools Foundation breakfast and lunch event March 31 raises money for schools

Monday, March 7, 2011

The Shoreline Public Schools Foundation is a private, volunteer organization which exists to raise funds for enrichment projects and student scholarships for Shoreline Public Schools.

They have a large fund-raising event each year where they showcase some of the projects and people funded by SPSF funds.

This year's event will be held on Thursday, March 31: a breakfast from 7-8:30 am and a lunch from 12-1:30 pm. The same program will be presented at both events.

Anyone is welcome to attend and tickets can be reserved at the Foundation website. Sponsors can reserve a table for eight for $400. Individual tickets are $50.

Teachers, schools, artists, and others with programs they need funding for will send their proposals to the Foundation. The Foundation reviews the proposals, prioritizes them, and then funds them based on available money.

Last year there was at least one project at every school in the district. From their website, here are some of the other ways they use their funds:

OPPORTUNITY GRANTS provide each of our K-12 schools with an “emergency fund” for school supplies, health checks, field trip fees and other classroom costs for students in need. Students have received a total of $88,360 in assistance.

SECONDARY ENRICHMENT SCHOLARSHIPS are awarded to 7-12 grade students, who are in a unique financial circumstance, for any program that is an enrichment opportunity such as music, athletics, leadership or workshops. 250 scholarships have been provided totaling $48,287.

SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM provides assistance to 5th through 8th grade students with extended learning opportunities in reading and writing. Also provides tuition assistance to 9th through 12th grade students to gain help in areas of need and enroll in online credit recovery courses. Since 1992, we have disbursed $461,902.

For more information, contact the SPSF office at 206-393-4107.

Calling for Kids - the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation

Sunday, October 31, 2010


On Sunday, November 7, the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation will hold their annual fund-raiser, "Calling for Kids," where they call school supporters to ask for donations for the programs supported by the Foundation.

The Foundation is a private, all-volunteer group whose mission is to raise money for enrichment programs for Shoreline Schools. Individual teachers or schools request money for specific projects they want to do during the coming school year, and if there is enough money, the Foundation funds their project.

The Foundation supports the Writers in Residence program for all 9th grade students, funds an intensive reading project called Read 180, replaces worn-out musical instruments, provides summer school academic scholarships, and generally moves in to fund worthy programs which are not part of the basic education provided by the school district.

If you have not been called in the past, or if you have changed your phone number, you can still take part:
If you would like to make a tax-deductible donation to the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation, please contact us at (206) 368-4107, or via email at shoreline.foundation@shorelineschools.org. Our mailing address is:
18560 First Avenue NE, Shoreline, WA 98155.


You can also donate through your employer's corporate matching gifts program, United Way campaign donations, Shoreline School District payroll deductions, and the Local Independent Charities (LIC) campaign.

Schools Foundation raises $60,000 in March event

Monday, April 26, 2010


The Shoreline Public Schools Foundation held its annual fundraiser breakfast and lunch at the Shoreline Center on March 25.

The program featured some of the recipients of past grants from the Foundation. The crowd pleaser was the robotics lab group from Einstein, which demonstrated its robots. Students explained to the bemused crowd how they simply lifted the lid and inserted code.


 Students who had been given grants to attend summer school talked about their experiences and how much summer school had helped them.
Principal Paul Shanahan of Echo Lake was there with three second graders. According to Principal Shanahan, "The Echo Lake second grade classrooms created Reading Rainbow book reviews using new Flip cameras purchased with a Foundation grant. The Flip camera are small, inexpensive, and don't have any wires. They create small files that are easily shared between computers and online. The video book reviews were presented to parents at Open House and posted to the teacher webpages." 

The students shared with the audience how they chose a book with a partner, read it, wrote a review, revised the review, and then memorized the review to share on camera.

Filmmaker Rick Stevenson gave an update on his 5,000 Day project, which films students talking about their lives. His project has followed students for a decade, starting in elementary school.

Jack Rogers, retired Shoreline Schools teacher / administrator, and project coordinator of Shore to Shore and Line to Line, a History of the Shoreline School District, was honored with a special award.

The Shoreline Public Schools Foundation Board of Trustees wish to thank everyone who helped raise $60,000 at our 17th Annual Spring Event on March 25.

For those who were unable to join us, our day was complete with music, robots, readers, and we heard from students whose lives have been affected by your generosity.

It’s never too late to give – donate online, mail in a check, or call the SPSF office at 206-368-4107.

Your donation has a profound way of impacting children’s lives and that makes the future brighter for all of us. Thank you!
