We are honored to be a recipient of this meaningful donation from the Ian Shumaker Foundation. Ian’s love of music lives on with our scholarship programs and enrichment programs. This summer, 3 scholarships were awarded in Ian’s name to attend the Foxboro Jazz Improvisation Workshop. Thank you again to the Ian Shumaker Foundation and their donors and supporters.

It is with immense pride and heartfelt gratitude that the Ian Shumaker Foundation had the privilege of donating $3000 to the Bellingham Friends Of Music this year. When Ian joined the Bellingham music department, he discovered his true passion and found his happy place. Our family will forever be indebted to the life-changing experiences, friendships, and opportunities that flourished through the music program. Our mission is to nurture this love and enthusiasm of music for future students within the Bellingham school system. We extend our deepest appreciation to our supporters who helped make this milestone possible and enabled us to make a lasting impact. 💚💚💚💚

Join us for our next community conversation with Suzanne Michel, Assistant Superintendent for Student Services, as we discuss the programs, supports, and services many students and families rely on every day across Bellingham Public Schools.

📅 Monday, May 25
🕗 8:15 PM
📍 Live on the Believe in Bellingham page

This conversation will cover IEPs, 504 plans, in-district programming, classroom supports, and the role these services play in helping students succeed while keeping more students supported within our district.

We’ll also discuss what the future could look like if student services are significantly reduced and why these conversations matter for families, educators, and the broader community.

We hope you’ll tune in on Monday!
