Last week on GIVING TUESDAY, YOU donated over $7,000 in honor of the wonderful teachers in the Issaquah School District.
Each of the 80 plus teachers received a personal email notifying them of the gift made in their honor and sharing the message from the donor - just like this one:
Thank you for always recognizing the individuality of the student and seeking out ways to help them thrive. You truly made a difference for my son!
