Teacher Appreciation Week is Coming
Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5-9) by honoring your favorite teachers and staff with a special gesture of gratitude!
For a limited time, when you make a donation to Lake Washington Schools Foundation in a teacher or staff member’s honor, we’ll put their name on our virtual Wall of Appreciation, send them an inspirational postcard, or even include a limited-edition enamel pin.
Your contribution supports the Foundation’s work and brightens a staff member’s day!
Lake Washington Schools Foundation Seeks New Trustees to Join its Board
Are you interested in serving and impacting over 30,000 students across the Lake Washington School District? Are you passionate about the work of Lake Washington Schools Foundation?
The Lake Washington Schools Foundation is looking to add new trustees to our governing board. LWSF raises funds and amplifies community resources to provide students in Lake Washington School District what they need to thrive, both now and in the future. We activate our mission through four focus areas: removing barriers, building connections, enhancing learning, and supporting wellness.
We are very interested in building our board with thoughtful, diverse candidates who have enthusiasm for the work we do, connections to local businesses and corporations, and the ability to help us expand our reach.
If you have a passion for serving and impacting students and families across the district, we encourage you to apply online at www.lwsf.org/trustee-application.
Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
What a Night! Thank You for Being the Bridge.
Whether you joined us in person or supported from afar, we’re grateful for your connection. Be the Bridge Spring Benefit was a special celebration of LWSF’s 20th anniversary—a meaningful evening filled with community, connection, and impact. We shared stories about the Foundation’s beginnings, highlighted Pantry Packs and other programs that support local students and families, and added a few fun new touches this year, including a silent auction, photo booth, welcome bubbles, and live music from a talented high school student.
We’re excited to share that our generous $250+ donors have unlocked the Matching Pool— $35,500 in contributions have now been doubled.
Now, we’re just $20,000 short of our $300k fundraising goal. And if you haven’t had a chance to donate yet, it’s not too late! Help ensure that we can continue serving Lake Washington School District students for the next 20 years—please make your donation today.
