Inspiring parents, community members, civic organizations and businesses to enhance public education on Bainbridge Island.

The success of the Bainbridge Schools Foundation comes down to one word: Community. A community that highly values education and that’s willing to step up and do whatever it takes to ensure our children get the kind of education that will lead to a better future for all of us. Without the efforts of the individuals and groups that make up our larger community: parents, alumni, island residents, local business, and others, the Bainbridge Schools Foundation would not be successful. We hear over and over that people move to the island because of our strong public schools. Strong schools are the heart and soul of a good community and keep our property values high. Your donation makes a difference to the quality of education on Bainbridge Island. We appreciate your continued support to keep our schools strong!

We can’t believe it’s already the start of month TWO!

As students settle into their routines, Bainbridge educators are doing what they do best: helping them learn, grow, and find their footing. Strong schools start with excellent educators, and this is the perfect time to send a little extra encouragement their way!

Did you know you can dedicate your donation to BSF to a teacher or staff member who has made a difference for your student? With every gift of $365 or more, or a recurring monthly gift of $30+, BSF will deliver a personal note and sweet treat to the educator or staff member of your choice.

Your donation supports BSF’s work for students and educators across all seven Bainbridge public schools, while your dedication gives someone special a well deserved moment of recognition.

Dedicate your gift today at https://www.bainbridgeschoolsfoundation.org/donate-online.

Meet the people helping guide BSF’s work!

Earlier this month, the Bainbridge Schools Foundation’s Board came together with staff for our annual retreat and launched a new strategic-planning process. We spent the morning reflecting on BSF’s role in our community, identifying priorities, and beginning to shape a shared direction for how we can make the greatest difference for students and educators across all seven Bainbridge public schools.

We are thankful for this thoughtful, committed group of volunteer leaders for sharing their time and talents to support our schools!

Huge thanks to our amazing sponsor Karey Roe Photography for the beautiful photo! 💙

Every educator deserves the chance to geek out with one of their pedagogical superheroes!

Before students returned to their classrooms, BISD educators gathered for a day of professional learning with Jennifer Gonzalez, creator and editor-in-chief of Cult of Pedagogy. A former classroom teacher and nationally recognized K–12 trainer, Gonzalez shares practical ideas and strategies with educators around the world.

Thanks to support from Bainbridge Schools Foundation, teachers across every grade level were able to learn from Gonzalez, spend time together, and begin the year with fresh ideas for their classrooms. We were so touched to receive this thoughtful note from BHS educators Katie Hess and Hans Griesser and to hear how much the experience meant to participating teachers.

This is just one example of what our community’s support of BSF makes possible. We are so grateful to the donors who helped our educators begin the year feeling inspired, energized, and excited to bring what they learned back to students across the district! 💙

We are so excited to partner once again with our friends at Eagle Harbor Book Company for a special book fair benefiting Bainbridge Schools Foundation!

Save the date to join us at Eagle Harbor Book Co. on Thursday, September 24, and shop for your next great read while supporting our schools!
