High school students from throughout the Lake Washington School District will be calling the district’s 16,000 families Feb. 23-26 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. to raise funds for enhanced science education in the District’s secondary schools.

Lake Washington Schools Foundation raises funds, gathers resources and acts as a catalyst to involve the community in public education, spotlighting areas of need and directing vital resources to our schools.

While the Lake Washington Schools Foundation supports many programs throughout the district including classroom and school enrichment grants, new teacher grants, and the LINKS mentoring and tutoring program, the Foundation has decided that the funds raised in this year’s “Calling for Kids” will be focused on science curriculum in the District’s secondary schools.

The Lake Washington Schools Foundation was able to award $28,700 to the district to purchase Vernier LabQuests and Probeware for all of the district’s high schools because of the donors who supported last year’s “Calling for Kids” campaign.

This innovative science lab technology enables students to acquire skills and aptitudes they will need to be job ready in the future.
