Kingston High robotics update

 

Where does some of the money we raise go? To robotics.

"On behalf of the Kingston High School Robotics Club, our foundation as well as all NK students and teachers we want to thank you for your continued support over the years," said Allison Pringle, Director of Donor Relations. "We appreciate your support of the robotics team as they were able to get the motors for their submarines so they can compete in a June robotics competition. I was able to join them at their club time and take some pictures. They are just in the beginning phases of their building but the excitement and energy was palatable!"

Look for an update later when the subs are complete.

 

 

Great Give results

60 people donated $3,500 to NK Schools Foundation during the Kitsap Great Give May 6. That's BEFORE matching funds! So the total is approximately $7,000. Whoo hoo!

Kitsap Great Give is TODAY!

 

Today's the day to give!

The North Kitsap Schools Foundation is participating in the Kitsap Great Give, a 24-hour online fund-raising event presented by the Kitsap Community Foundation and the United Way of Kitsap County.

One of the things that makes this community-wide day of giving so exciting is that donations to NKSF and other participating nonprofits will be matched by more than $100,000 from Great Give sponsors.

Here's what you can do to help: Go to http://kitsapgreatgive.org/#npo/north-kitsap-schools-foundation between midnight and 11:59 p.m. and make a tax-deductible donation to NK Schools Foundation. Tell your friends, colleagues and family about this opportunity to be part of the biggest day of philanthropy in Kitsap County history.

All donations, plus our share of the matching funds, support NK students and help bridge the gap between state funding and local needs. Since 2012, the foundation has given $70,000 to local schools to provide direct support to students who are underperforming in math, reading and science; fund STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs, and restore services affected by budget cuts.

Thank you for your support!

Dozens of LEOs and Lions show up for spaghetti feed fund-raiser

 

Our Lions' spaghetti feed fund-raiser for NK Schools Foundation was a success February 7. Above, North Kitsap LEOs help serve salad.

 

 



 Lions Pat Osler (back) and Dan Murphy cooked the spaghetti.

 

Lion Pat Olsen mixed a little olive oil in with the noodles to keep them from sticking.

 

 

We had three Lions just cutting tomatoes for the salads!

 

And once the bread was buttered and baked, Lions Jim Schoettler and President Pat Burch sliced it.

 

 

Evening Pride Branch Lions Marianne, Michelle, Glenn and Bobbi helped out.

 

So did Lions Sherri Burch and Joe Stenstrom.



 

Evening Pride Branch Lion Marianne took in the money while Colleen Pritchard of NK Schools Foundation, handed out tickets.

 

 

Once everyone paid and got their tickets, Kingston LEO Kennedy Rebman (right) would stamp a star on their hand. Shown is Glen Robins of the NK Schools Foundation.

 

 

These four dished up spaghetti (left to right): Linda Prine, Lions Pauline Ostheller and Steve Swann, and NK School Superintendent Patti Page.

 

 

Lion Kent and Michelle (Evening Pride branch) took a turn serving salads.

 

 

Tess Schorn, a Kingston LEO, helped serve lemonade.

 

 

There were LEOs from Poulsbo Middle School too. Here are Kari Van Vlerah, a 7th-grader, and Grace Streun, a 6th-grader, pouring water and lemonade.









 

Everyone was treated to spaghetti, garlic bread, salad and a drink.

 

 

Lions Herb and Elda Armstrong enjoyed the dinner,

 



 as did Lions Dale and Bev Armstrong.

 

Lion Tom Settle helped get coffee for a customer.

 

And Lion Rich Colpitts kept the lemonade flowing.

 

 

Courtney Carlson, a senior KHS LEO, helped clear and clean tables along with other LEO club members and Lions.

 

 

We were treated to music by the choir, as well as a boys' quartet.

 

Tables were set up in the back of the NK Commons where kids could create free valentines.
