Back-to-School Supply Drive Surpasses Goal
This year’s Back-to-School Supply Drive, led by LWSD in partnership with the Lake Washington Schools Foundation, once again showed the power of coming together to support students and families. Just like how our community stepped up in June to clear lunch debt for graduating seniors, they showed up again, making sure students start the year prepared and ready to learn.
Thanks to our community’s generosity, thousands of students now have the supplies they need to thrive. Together, donors contributed in so many ways: raising an incredible $15,589 for essential purchases, ordering items through the district’s Amazon Wishlist, and dropping off new school supplies at the Resource Center.
