We are pleased to present Lake Washington Schools Foundation‟s 2011 Impact Report. The Foundation continues to grow, utilizing your donations to ensure that all students are future ready. We have seen the need for outside support increase as resources from the State dwindle under a slow economic recovery. Fortunately, our donors have been more generous than ever before.

All schools were invited to apply for Reaching for Success grants of up to $3,000 to help achieve goals outlined in their school’s Continuous Improvement Process Plan, an unfunded but state-mandated requirement.
This year, the Foundation received over $113,000 in grant requests, including 45 applications from 25 schools. These creative and innovate proposed programs include before- and after-school tutoring programs, math enrichment and curriculum, materials and supplies to establish computer science curriculum, and reading programs to reach all levels of readers.
Applications are being carefully reviewed, and grant awards will be announced in early June. Donor generosity at the annual A Legacy for Learning luncheon will determine how many grants are awarded. Join us and help fund these grants!

Thanks to You, the number of students attending summer school increased this year to 105 (over half of those in attendance) at a cost of $59,393. This program, for pre-K to 6th grade students, includes literacy, reading, and math so that they can ‘hit the ground running’ when school starts in the fall. Your donations helped to send students who would otherwise not be able to attend. All students in the classroom benefit from having those who attend summer school and are prepared to learn in the fall. Teachers spend less time in review and more time on new material. Thanks to Foundation donors for your support.
