This past year it has become clear that our schools are much more than just institutions of learning.

Vashon’s public schools provide a sense of community and belonging, they make sure our kids know they matter.  Your gift to the Vashon Schools Foundation will support vital school programs and services our students rely on.

Please consider making a contribution today. Your gift will support:

Counseling in partnership with Vashon Youth and Family. VYFS staff will work with school counselors, staff and VISD Latino Family Liaison to provide families with case management and supportive interventions to address anxiety and depression, LGBTQ, and mental health self-care.

Increase capacity for prevention programs such as Sisterhood, Journeyman, Circles, and Sources of Strength that provide for the social and emotional needs of students. This funding also is directed to additional programs/strategies to support vulnerable students throughout the school district.

Citizen Science partnership with Vashon Nature Center. Provides 6th grade science students and high school biology students with significant hands on, community based experiences in the sciences.

Spanish speaking intern program. Provide CES students with exposure to Spanish language and culture, spark interest in continuing in world languages, support English Language Learners (ELL) students by having adult heritage speakers as teaching assistants and primary language support, helping all our students engage in their learning.

Racial Equity Initiative – deconstructing institutional racism, providing access and opportunity for students and families of color.

Vashon Artists in Schools program – a collaboration between Vashon Center for the Arts and VISD bringing art education to classrooms that enhance and expand current art education at each school. VAIS began in 1987 and typically provides 20 or more programs in the school each school year

Our GiveBIG goal is to raise $30,000 – which will be matched, thereby DOUBLED, by the generosity of a Vashon business owner! With your donation you are providing a more certain future for our students and investing in thriving public schools that teach and empower our students. Thank you for your support.
