Donor Dollars at Work

    • The Foundation’s grant for iPads for special needs students is getting rave reviews. The iPads have numerous applications and in one case, even vocalizes for a student. You can see a video about the iPad program at the Nourish Every Mind Luncheon on May 10.
    • Recently students at Liberty High School enjoyed a presentation by Facebook employees. Turns out, one of the   employees was an ISD graduate who participated in Robotics at Issaquah High—a program funded in part for years by ISF donors.

 "All In For Kids" Campaign- THANK YOU! 

Because of you, your PTAs, and your friends and neighbors, we crushed our $250,000 goal by raising over $325,000 for the All in for Kids Campaign.  This is a phenomenal number and speaks volumes about the level of support for our kids in our district.  That’s not all money in the bank yet though, as a portion of this is pledges and employer matches—money that will only arrive when people act on their promises.
