There’s a special kind of support that doesn’t wait for the “right time.” It doesn’t depend on a single event or a single ask. It shows up steadily, month after month, quietly making space for good ideas to become real opportunities for students. That’s the heart of Luminaries, the North Kitsap Schools Foundation’s monthly sustaining donor community.

A heartfelt thank you to the North Kitsap staff who show up every day for students, families, and our school community.

At Hilder Pearson Elementary, an NKSF grant provided sensory tools and hands-on STEM materials for students in the ISP Special Education program. Designed to support small-group STEM and social-emotional learning (SEL) activities, these resources are helping students in grades 1–5 stay calm, focused, and ready to learn.
