Calling for Kids
Fundraising Campaign
  
Calling for Kids Tops $235,000
What began in August with flyers and postcards culminated on Tuesday and Wednesday nights with hundreds of high school students, scores of adult volunteers, mountains of pizza and a record-breaking total? Calling for Kids—the fall edition—raised a smile inspiring $235,000. “Our message of ‘Everybody In,’ resonated with the community,” say Co-Chairs Deborah Parsons and Leigh Stokes. "We knew going into the campaign that it was imperative to educate the community not only about the need for private support of public schools but also about the importance of every family taking it upon themselves to make an investment. We still have a ways to go before we reach our goal of 100% participation, but the campaign results prove that we are definitely on the right-track.”
The Foundation thanks every donor who said ‘YES’ to our students and schools with a Calling for Kids contribution. Your generous gifts will fund programs and investments that prepare all Issaquah School District students for success in our global, knowledge-based society. In the words of our Superintendent Dr. Steve Rasmussen, “Our local community is among this District’s most important assets—because we make the choice to step-up to provide world-class education to our children, even when the state has decided that a lesser standard will do.” We could not say it any better.
