At the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year, Rosanna Lampano, Kingston Middle School band teacher, inventoried over 100 music instruments in a state of disrepair, and unusable. NKSF stepped up with a grant award of $5,000 to begin the repair process. With the help of our local community partner foundations, the renewed instruments enhanced the band program experience all around.

Town & Country Markets and Walmart offer us the sustenance we need to feed our families bodies, and the support we need to feed our children’s minds. The lasting partnerships between NKSF and our neighborhood stores have provided countless opportunities for students to learn from the amazing and innovative programs NK educators implement every year. 

This spring, third-grade classrooms across North Kitsap transformed into real-life hatcheries. With the help of a grant from the North Kitsap Schools Foundation, students at David Wolfle, Poulsbo, Suquamish, and Vinland Elementary Schools participated in the Salmon Seekers program. This powerful, hands-on learning experience brought the salmon life cycle out of the textbook and into the classroom, making it a truly engaging experience.
