It was by serendipity

that our two founding members, Marian Berge and Mal Harding, each just having returned from separate conferences, decided to join the buzz around school foundations. They recognized the long tradition of Snohomish support for its schools, and realized that creating a foundation was natural undertaking for this community. Since then, SEF’s efforts to broaden educational opportunities for students in the Snohomish School District have flourished.

We’re so thankful and excited to be featured in Snohomish City Lifestyle magazine, as the Snohomish Education Foundation celebrates 40 years of serving our community!

The article shares a closer look at SEF's story and the work that continues today through classroom grants, scholarships, essential needs support, the Trades Initiative, and the incredible community that makes it all possible.

And speaking of community, we’re sharing a few of the photos captured for the magazine, taken at our SEF Community Luncheon this past spring. It was a room filled with many of the people who have supported, championed, and helped shape this work, and such a meaningful reminder of what can happen when a community continues to show up for its students.

Thank you to Snohomish City Lifestyle for helping tell our story to support the students of Snohomish! 💛

Teachers, start thinking about those big ideas. 🍎💡

The next Snohomish Education Foundation Classroom Grant cycle is coming this October, and now is the perfect time to start thinking about an idea you’d love to bring to life for your students.

Last school year, SEF awarded a record $103,737 in Classroom and Essential Needs Grants, helping fund 126 projects across the Snohomish School District.

Those grants helped support everything from hands-on STEM and literacy initiatives to experiential learning, outdoor education, student wellness, classroom innovation, and career and trades exploration.

Behind every grant is an educator who saw an opportunity to make learning more engaging, meaningful, accessible, or memorable for their students.

So as you head into a new school year, keep that idea in the back of your mind. The project you’ve been thinking about. The resource that could change how your students learn. The experience you’d love to make possible.

Information for the 2026–27 Classroom Grant cycle will be available in October. Applications are open starting October 1. Stay tuned for more.

And to the donors, businesses, and community partners who support SEF: this is your generosity at work, directly inside Snohomish classrooms. ❤️
