 Happy First Week of School! I remember the excitement with which I approached the beginning of each new school year. The possibilities seemed endless. I still experience a burst of enthusiasm with the start of the school year. Now, however, it's because of the Foundation and its donors. I know that our work is contributing the development of well-rounded, superbly educated youth who will confidently lead us in the future. Together, we are strengthening our children and our community.
Thank you for your commitment. Here's to a great year!
Sincerely,
Robin Callahan, Executive Director

Calling for Kids Annual Fund - With a Twist
|
You've bought school supplies, ordered the yearbook, and cleaned out the stores at the mall. How do you complete your Back-to-School list? With a donation to the Calling for Kids Annual Fund. Calling for Kids is a critical part of the annual Back-to-School process. Campaign dollars help ensure that the Foundation can provide its ongoing slate of programs. Our ability to fund After-School Homework Labs, the VOICE Mentor Program, Academic Enrichment Grants, Robotics Clubs, Financial Literacy Classes, National Board Certification Scholarships and a brand new K-5 Science Curriculum depends on donors like you.
This year, the Calling for Kids campaign has a twist ... an element of friendly competition. The school with the highest percentage (not dollars) of participation will win the first ever Calling for Kids award. It's more important than ever to contribute. Whether you can give $5 a month or $500 a year, please give. Your contribution will make a tremendous impact on the educational resources available to our students.
Calling for Kids is now through October 28. Contribute by October 7 and we will remove you from our call list. Click Here to learn more and make your donation today |

Put on Your Walking/Running Shoes
|
 We're pleased to announce that the Issaquah Rotary has made the Foundation a co-beneficiary of its annual Rotary Run. A portion of each entry fee will be donated to the Foundation in support of Healthy Kids and Healthy Communities. The more teams that are registered, the greater the benefit to the Foundation. Contact your athletically inclined friends (children and adults) and ask them to run or walk for the Foundation. Even better...form a team of your own. Click Here for information and team registration.
