First on deck is the 'Save our Teachers' dinner July 21 from 6-8pm: This community has done great things toward this goal and we wanna keep it up! We'll be serving a special dinner menu filled with local yummyness (regular favorites available too) and all proceeds from the dinners sold this night will be directly donated to the school fund. Come on out and eat dinner and support our local schools, bring your families, bring your friends. We're working on some live music too!
This is so wonderful!

Support local merchants on July 22 for BSF!

On Wednesday, July 22, Bainbridge merchants will donate a percentage of
sales during their last two hours before closing to the Save Our
Teachers Fund.

Participating businesses will be identified by an orange poster in their
windows. Among the benefit's sponsors are Dana's ShowHouse, Eagle
Harbor Books, Esther's Fabrics, Paper Products and Willows Naturally.
This is a great time to make that purchase for the home that you've been
thinking about, stock up on healthy snacks for summer picnics and
materials for summer crafts projects as well as school supplies for the
fall.

Donations may be dropped off at American Marine Bank, sent to Save Our
Teachers at 8489 Madison Ave or made through the website at
www.bainbridgeschoolsfoundation.org.

Preston Family Foundation Grant

BSF is pleased to announce that we have received a grant from the Preston Family Foundation for $70,000 to help fund the new Wings Program at BISD. A private donor supplemented this grant and added another $14,000. The money will be used to help fund a full time Autism Spectrum Disorder Specialist, will fund additional staff time and training for ASD teams at K-6 schools and will help fund Autism training programs in the district. Bainbridge Island has an autism rate that is 4 times the national average. We are thrilled to help out with the funding of this very important program!
