 Pictured: Theresa  Pictured: Theresa, left.With Backpack for Kids volunteers We’re proud to have Theresa on our 2025-26 Board! We’re so grateful for her time and service. Read why she choose to dedicate time and service to the Foundation: “I joined the Northshore Schools Foundation to make a meaningful impact in the district where my four children attend school. While I’ve previously been involved with the PTA—an essential support system for individual schools—being part of the Foundation allows me to contribute on a broader scale, helping more schools, students, and teachers across the district. There’s a common misconception in our community that schools are fully funded by the city and state, but unfortunately, that funding often falls short. The Foundation plays a vital role not only in providing financial support where it’s needed most, but also in raising awareness and rallying the community around what we can achieve together.” Theresa’s background and education: “November 1st, I will be a Commercial Banking Officer for Global Federal Credit Union.” Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting/Business Administration Project Management Program at UW |
