The Shoreline Public Schools Foundation hosted its annual breakfast and luncheon spring events in late March at the Shoreline Conference Center to great success, with both morning and afternoon tables filled and more than $75,000 raised.

Shoreline School District Superintendent Sue Walker spoke to the critical needs of the additional funding that the Foundation raises to fund enrichment opportunities and support basic educational needs not covered by the state and district budget. She highlighted many of the programs the Foundation assists throughout the school district from band instruments for Shorewood and Shorecrest High Schools to classroom enhancements for kindergarten teachers; the Foundation quietly touches the entire realm of the school district.

Highlighted speakers at the event this year were students from Einstein Middle School and Highland Terrace Elementary School who worked together on the Student Spaceflight Experience Program. Their experiment was selected from across the nation to take place aboard a NASA flight. Aden Helland, Matthew McMillan, Tuguldur Myagmarsuren, Jack Parkinson & Dylan Probinski explained to an enthralled audience how they attempted to prove crystal growth and impurities amid zero gravity. They also thanked the Foundation for the monetary and integral help in funding and finding a coach for their project.

Scholarships were also presented to seniors Dylan Stephens of Shorewood and Claire Kaiser of Shorecrest for their outstanding contributions in leadership and volunteerism.

Generous sponsors have entirely underwritten the costs of the Breakfast and Luncheon this year so that all donations will directly benefit the Foundations continuing efforts to support the students in the Shoreline Public Schools. Those sponsors include: Boeing, Spee West Construction, Green Gasaway Architects, Integrus Architecture, Stoel Rives LLP, Dunn Lumber, Foster Pepper PLLC, James Alan Salon, Real Property Associates Inc., Spiro's Pizza and Pasta, and the Richmond Beach QFC. An anonymous donor also matched each donation of $250 or more.
