Our Neighboring Schools Foundations

While our luncheon raised a record amount, we still have a long way to go to reach our $1 million goal by 2008. Here is what our neighboring schools foundations raise:

District	# of Students	$ Raised in 2005-2006	$ Raised in 2006-2007
Seattle Alliance for Education	46,000	$7,578,475
Bellevue Schools Foundation	16,000	$1,784,311	$1,741,522
Mercer Island Schools Foundation	4,000	$842,000
Issaquah Schools Foundation	16,000	$371,000	$715,000
Shoreline Public Schools Foundation	9,700	$335,000	$211,489
Snoqualmie Valley Schools Foundation	5,000	$74,530	$102,467
Lake Washington Schools Foundation	23,500	$30,000	*$412,894

Bellevue Schools Foundation raises over $1 million more each year than ISF. With their additional funding, they contribute $660,000 in 2006 to help implement a leading math and science curriculum. Mercer Island School Foundation funded a district-wide literacy adoption for kindergarten through 8th grade and, in 2007, purchased 50,000 books for students to become more effective readers, writers and communicators.

These examples show first hand the significant impact schools foundations have on the quality of learning within their districts. We want and need this same impact in our district. And, with your support, we can do just that.
