Teacher Appreciation Week is Here
Teachers and school staff don’t just educate—they inspire, encourage, and create safe spaces for our students to grow. Their impact lasts a lifetime.
This week, we celebrate the incredible educators and staff who help every child thrive in the Lake Washington School District.
Visit our Wall of Appreciation to see the many teachers and staff being honored by families across our community. Each name is a small reminder of the big impact they make every day.
Lake Washington Schools Foundation Seeks New Trustees to Join its Board
Are you interested in serving and impacting over 30,000 students across the Lake Washington School District? Are you passionate about the work of Lake Washington Schools Foundation?
The Lake Washington Schools Foundation is looking to add new trustees to our governing board. LWSF raises funds and amplifies community resources to provide students in Lake Washington School District what they need to thrive, both now and in the future. We activate our mission through four focus areas: removing barriers, building connections, enhancing learning, and supporting wellness.
We are very interested in building our board with thoughtful, diverse candidates who have enthusiasm for the work we do, connections to local businesses and corporations, and the ability to help us expand our reach.
If you have a passion for serving and impacting students and families across the district, we encourage you to apply online at www.lwsf.org/trustee-application.
Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions.
