At Einstein Middle School, grant funds were used for a visual arts project that involved more than 300 students who collaborated on a theme, drafted ideas and then each painted a tile. When combined, a mural was created and permanently installed.
At Shorewood High School, grant funds were used for a chamber music coach to work with students and inspire a higher standard of performance, as seen in this impressive thank you video by Orchestra Teacher Karen Helseth.
At many schools, grant funds were used for STEM support. Almost every job will require some skill in a STEM discipline. The Foundation supported learning opportunities that fostered a love of math and science in the littlest learners and prepared our high schoolers for post-graduation careers or studies.
Thank you for:
- Micropipettes
- Kids in Medicine - A pig heart dissection experience
- The opportunity to learn how to make toys
For the 2024-25 school year, the Foundation is launching SAFE (Student Aid for Essentials).
SAFE is a new initiative with a simple and far-reaching goal, to keep kids in school by removing barriers for students who are living with a low income or experiencing a financial and/or family crisis. The SAFE program will act as a lifeline, providing immediate help for basic needs and emergency support.
Below are a few examples of what the support will fund:
- Gift cards for groceries, gas, and necessities
- School supplies
- Backpacks
- Field trip fees
- Class and activity fees
- Transportation to services outside of school
Please consider donating to the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation to support local students who are experiencing the most need
