February 2018 - Spotlight on Success
|
YOU DID IT!
We asked and you met the challenge!
We exceeded our goal of $22,000
for Feeding Student Success. Thank you!
Thanks to YOU and our generous matching donors Susie and Arthur, we have surpassed our goal for the Feeding Student Success program!
You all were inspired to give, just like newly opened Jersey Mike's in Issaquah, who raised $2,500 during their Grand Opening celebration. They have directed the funds to Feeding Student Success.

Your Donation Dollars at Work!

The Great Careers Conference held in December last year was an awesome success. Organized by the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce Education Committee along with our partners from the Issaquah School District, Issaquah Schools Foundation, the Seattle-King County Workforce Development Council and Bellevue College.
The goal was to have students leave with enthusiasm and optimism for their future. To be inspired by the speakers and to walk away from the Conference with an "I can do that" attitude. We hoped to help them recognize that there are many exciting and rewarding careers that do not necessarily require a four-year degree, and according to these kids, it did just that!

We were honored to see students in an Apollo Elementary's kindergarten classroom learning with BeeBots funded by YOU through a Kateri Brow grant from the Issaquah Schools Foundation. This is the second set of Bee Bots purchased through a Kateri Brow grant- the first was at Maple Hills Elementary.
BeeBots are programmable floor robots to aid the teaching mathematical problem solving, directional language, and programming to kindergarten classrooms while also providing a beautiful hands-on connection to coding.
