Lake Washington Schools Foundation

📚✨ Because of our Inclusive Libraries grant, the Redmond Middle School library continues to grow a collection where students feel seen while also discovering new perspectives. Librarian Amy Fields shared that students eagerly check out books that provide both “validation of lived experience and exposure to different ways of living.”

We’re grateful to support welcoming and inclusive library spaces for all students. 💙

Graduation is a celebration—for students, families, and our whole community. But for some seniors, unpaid lunch debt casts a shadow.

Let’s come together and lift them up.

💚 During Mental Health Awareness Month, students at Emerson High School, Emerson K-12, and Northstar Middle School had the chance to spin the trivia wheel, test their knowledge, and learn more about mental wellness resources and coping strategies. The line to participate stretched down the hallway all lunch hour long!

LWSF was proud to help fund this engaging activity for students, and we’re grateful to Irene Neumann, Diane Devlyn-Thompson, Janene Panek, and Wendy Simmons for making this engaging activity possible for students!

Over five years, the Inclusive Libraries grant has brought more than 6,500 books into LWSD schools, helping students connect with stories that reflect their lives and expand their understanding of others.

Graduation is just around the corner—and while our seniors are preparing to walk across the stage, some are carrying more than just caps and gowns. They’re carrying lunch debt.
Let’s change that. Your donation helps clear balances and ensure every senior walks with pride.
