You Make the Difference
“I give because I believe our children will have a better opportunity to achieve their full potential through our community’s support for the best education that we can provide. I give because I believe my contribution could make a positive impact on our children’s learning needs and guide them toward a bright future. I give because I believe by investing in our school district today, we are building a stronger community tomorrow. I give because I believe in the power of education to transform lives, and I want to be part of that transformation. By supporting Mercer Island Schools Foundation, I am honored to help create an environment where each child can thrive, grow, and succeed. “

Impact Stories
“The A Kids Book About Book… series has been a wonderful resource in my and other classrooms at Island Park. Reading a book to ignite discussion and learning around a specific topic is always a powerful way to present information. Students absolutely love listening to these books, and there is always a rich discussion after reading the text. Simply asking the students, “what does this book teach us about inclusion?” has led to insightful discussions that allow students to practice empathy and respect.”
