Elementary Science Initiative Campaign Reminder
The June 15th Elementary Science Initiative Campaign deadline is rapidly approaching. If you haven’t yet made your donation toward this critical K-5 science curriculum adoption for our students, please do so today. The benefit to your child will be immediate and impactful. The campaign coalition (PTSA, District, ISF) is asking every elementary parent to contribute $50 per child—or whatever they can to raise the funding required to purchase and implement the full, three domain curriculum this fall. Please visit the campaign website, http://www.issaquahscience.org/ to learn why this adoption is vital to your child’s education and how you can join our team of campaign fundraisers.
