The Phone-A-Thon is on Oct 2 & 3….

Be ready when the call comes…it helps the kids!

It’s time again to help the schools…and here’s a great place to start. And…they could use a few more volunteer callers…got time?

Here’s more from Nancy & the San Juan Island Public Schools Foundation:

The San Juan Public Schools Foundation will hold its annual Phone-A-Thon on Tuesday, Oct. 2 and Wednesday, Oct. 3, from 4:00-8:30pm. During this time, volunteers will be calling to ask for your donations.

The Foundation is a group of volunteer parents, business leaders, educators, and community sponsors who raise money to make a difference in the classroom. Proceeds from the Phone-A-Thon, the Knowledge Bowl, and the Business Partnership Program, go directly back into the classrooms at Friday Harbor Elementary, Middle, and High schools.

Every bit helps…

Quality education is everybody’s business. Friday Harbor High School was ranked 9th in Washington state this year by US News and World Report. This recognition includes designations of gold, silver, or bronze medals to top ranking schools. FHHS earned a gold medal, based on achievement in state assessments, college readiness, and a ranking in the top 500 schools in the nation.

In addition, Friday Harbor High School has recently been recognized for achievement in the areas of Marine Science, Robotics, Athletics, Drama, and Art.

“I am pleased, but not surprised, given the quality of our district as a whole.” Principal Fred Woods claimed.

We hope the community responds generously again for our kids. This year celebrated the 100th graduating class from the Friday Harbor High School. There are only a few schools in Washington who can say that! And, we are close to reaching the One-Million-Dollar mark for donations to the Foundation. Help us get to the One-Million-Dollar mark in our centennial celebration
