The Shoreline Public Schools Foundation's 21st annual Spring Event was held on Thursday, March 27. Over 300 community members, business owners, parents and educators filled the room and showed their support for the students and educators of the Shoreline School District.

Due to the generosity of our event sponsors, the cost of the Spring Event was entirely underwritten and thus, every dollar donated will go directly to supporting students and promoting learning in our schools. A special thank you to our generous Presenting Sponsor: Point Wells BSRE LP

Shoreline Public Schools Foundation awards two Senior Scholarships

Monday, April 16, 2012

Updated 4-16-2012 6:25pm

Sierra Alef-Defoe from Shorecrest and Chris Evans from Shorewood
are the first winners of SPSF Senior Scholarships

Two Shoreline students became the first recipients of the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation’s (SPSF) Senior Scholarships, created to recognize two students each year who demonstrate exceptional volunteerism in the community. Sierra Alef-Defoe from Shorecrest High School and Chris Evans from Shorewood High School each received a $1,000 scholarship.

Sierra and Chris each spoke about their volunteer experiences during the Foundation’s annual Spring Event fundraiser on March 29 at Shoreline Center. Sierra, of Shorecrest, has a 3.8 GPA and plans to study law with an emphasis on children’s health care. In 2006, in memory of her friend Sydney Coxon, Sierra co-founded the Pink Polka Dots junior guild of Seattle Children’s Hospital. Their goal was to raise money for pediatric brain tumor research, and six years later, they’ve raised more than $400,000.

Chris, of Shorewood, maintains a 3.95 GPA. Not only has Chris been a stalwart community and school volunteer, he has successfully enlisted and led other teen volunteers, from high school drama production crews to student canvassing teams for Jay Inslee’s last congressional campaign. Chris is headed to George Washington University next year to study politics.

The Shoreline Public Schools Foundation provides funding for educational enrichment as well as basic educational needs to all students in the Shoreline Public Schools. The Foundation introduced the SPSF Senior Scholarships this year to promote post-high school opportunities for Shoreline students.
