Our schools are looking for donations to help purchase items that haven’t been funded in the tightened school district budget. The projects that still need funding range from display cases to field trips to community service projects designed by students. 

The Anacortes Schools Foundation facilitates individual and group donations, provides receipts for tax-deductible donations and sends 100% of the donation to the project requested by the donor.

Anacortes High School teachers have requested funds to purchase display cases for student physics and drafting projects, a trip to see a Seattle Repertory production of “Crime and Punishment,” and paper and ink to produce and display student photos of local senior citizens. 

Fidalgo Elementary School requests include musical instruments, after-school study club trained and paid staff, and materials to make fleece blankets for the opening of the Anacortes Homeless Shelter.

Island View Elementary School is hoping to receive funding for compound microscopes, drums and keyboards for music team-building and community performance, and book libraries to serve two classrooms.

Whitney Pre-School needs plant supplies for spring gardening projects, an evening family literacy program and science enhancement projects.

The cost of these projects ranges from less than $200 up to $1000.  Some contributors are joining with friends to honor a friend or an occasion.
