ISSAQUAH SCHOOLS FOUNDATION NOURISH EVERY MIND – 5/18-22

During the week of May 18-22, 2020, the Issaquah Schools Foundation will feature speakers each day at noon sharing how the Foundation makes a difference in the lives of our students. Visit mcause.us/Nourish2020 or watch on Facebook Live for 15 minutes each day to learn how we enrich the learning experience in our community.

From May 18th to May 22nd, the Issaquah Schools Foundation will be featuring a 15-minute segment each day at noon via Facebook Live and on our event page mcause.us/Nourish2020.

8TH GRADE PARENTS – SAVE THE DATE

On August 27th, the Issaquah High PTSA will sponsor a New to IHS Night at Issaquah High which will include student tours and panels for incoming 9th graders and parents.


HELP HUNGRY FAMILIES IN ISD

We need your help, now more than ever, to assist families in our community. The Issaquah Schools Foundation is partnering with the Issaquah Food & Clothing Bank to ensure students' nutritional needs are being met through this ongoing school closure. We are asking donors to purchase boxes of food directly through Supply All Kids, who will purchase food and pack boxes to distribute at the food bank.  You may also contribute directly to the Foundation and we will direct additional support to current and emerging needs during this time.
