"We are more than our investments. We are more than the year-to-year or day-by-day changes in our net worth. We are what we do for charity. We are how we treat our family and friends. We are what we do for our community and our nation. If you had $100 million or $100,000 a year ago and now you have a lot less, you are still the same person." Ben Stein
These days it's easy to be consumed by the uncertain economy and forget that no matter what our bank balance, we each have an important role to play. We retain the same talents and passions and have the same opportunity to make a difference in the world.
Your support of ISF is appreciated now, more than ever. We value contributions of time, talent and dollars--no matter the size. What's vital is that we continue to work together to change education for our children. We have the power to improve our schools, and our community by ensuring that all students have the opportunity to achieve their academic potential.

IHS Robotics Club - Your Dollars Make a Difference

 Dear ISF,Great News! The IHS Robotics team placed first at the Oregon regional last weekend. This year we won based on our robot's performance. Because we won first place in Portland we are invited to attend the World Championship in Atlanta again this year. Thanks for all your support!

ISF donors have contributed to the Robotics Club's success this year by enabling the Foundation to make a $6,000 grant to the organization. This $6,000 underwrote the Club's 2008 registration fee for the FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) National Competition. FIRST's goal is to inspire students to study math and science and then apply their knowledge to design, build and program a 120 pound, semi-autonomous robot.
P.S. - You can see the Robotics Club in action at the Microsoft Seattle Regional FIRST Robotics Competition March 26, 27 & 28 at Key Arena. | |
