It Takes an Island, Now More than Ever
In light of recent events, one thing has become abundantly clear: our children need our public schools, and our public schools need us. Our educators are working tirelessly to adapt to the changing education landscape brought by COVID to ensure student needs are met. We invite you to join us in our pledge to be there for our students and staff as we navigate new learning territories this fall. We are working with the Bainbridge Island School District to offer support for students when they return to school in the fall. Whether students return to school online or in-person, students will be in need of academic and social emotional support now more than ever.
The Bainbridge Schools Foundation has always focused funding on academic support for our students as well as training for our teachers. As this pandemic continues and educational needs shift, your contribution to BSF ensures our students and teachers receive the support they need by funding teaching training in identified areas for growth and support for our students that are in need of an additional boost when returning to school in the fall.
Strong schools are the heart of our Bainbridge Island community, and the Bainbridge Schools Foundation is our key to investing in every student, every day. We are so thankful to be part of a community where so many people contribute time and resources to our schools. Thank you.
Innovation is one of BSF’s three funding areas. Check out the video to see where innovation makes a difference for our students!
