SWSF Hosts Informational Luncheon

The South Whidbey Schools Foundation hosted an informal luncheon for district staff at the High School Commons on Wednesday, Oct. 2.

The ‘meet and greet’ enabled SWSF Board members to engage with educators about the ease of the grant process and to solicit ideas on how the Foundation might help enhance education in their classrooms.

About 40 teachers and Foundation Board members enjoyed a delicious catered lunch from Fare Market in Freeland and cookies from Pickles Deli.

The Foundation is off to a good start with awarding seven teacher-requested grants so far for this school year.

Come join us! We’re looking to add members to our South Whidbey Schools Foundation Board.

If you would like to help support our local public schools, we invite you to learn more about us. We usually meet once a month on a Saturday morning at the South Whidbey Community Center.

Board members serve three-year terms and help plan and produce two to three community outreach events a year. We laugh a lot, love being positively productive, and take satisfaction in rolling up our sleeves and getting a task done. Best of all, we make a difference in the lives of students in the South Whidbey School District. Contact Shelly Ackerman, our Board President at SWSF@whidbey.com for more information.

Thank you to Whidbey Telecom for providing a discount for the Schools Foundation’s voicemail services. We appreciate the support!
