Since it was founded in 2005, the Lake Washington Schools Foundation has awarded over $750,000 to schools in the district. Foundation programs include science enrichment grants, classroom and school enrichment grants, LINKS (a volunteer mentoring program), Access (a program to defer secondary school expenses for low-income students), and CASS (core academic summer school for at-risk students). The annual A Legacy for Learning Luncheon brings together the communities of Kirkland, Redmond, and Sammamish to support area schools; a record 515 guests attended last year. There are still opportunities to be a Table Captain for tables of 10, to sponsor the luncheon, or to volunteer to help make this event a success. Contact Executive Director Doug Seto for more information at dseto@lwsf.org .
