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.

As we work to build longevity into our Grants Program, the NKSF Board of Trustees will be making some changes to the grant application and award policies and procedures. At the beginning of the 2025-2026 NK school year, the following updates to our grants program will go into effect.
