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. 

We’re already looking forward to Dine Out next year, and since we love inclusivity and transparency at NKSF we’ve set up some brief, 5 minute, surveys that we’d love for you to stop by and fill out if you can to let us know about your experience during Dine Out.

Thanks for coming out to eat with us at some of our favorite local restaurants! We’re so grateful to everyone who was able to come out for the revival of Dine Out, and for our partnering restaurants for hosting the return. For those of you who didn’t get a chance to connect with us or our hosts this time around, don’t worry, we’re planning to keep strong, grow the event, and figure out ways to include more of the community.

During the week of April 27th, through May 3rd, 2025, we’re encouraging the community to come out to eat in solidarity with our local schools and restaurants. 

Because of the thoughtful and giving community around and among our schools, the awards granted during the 2023-2024 North Kitsap school year illuminates the possibilities of the future. This part of our work, seeing the grants in action and the impact on the classrooms that the teachers share, excites us as though they were streaks of light from meteors in the night sky.
