Recap of Build Skills for Life Breakfast Fundraiser
What a success! On Friday, Oct. 3rd, we hosted our Build Skills for Life Breakfast Fundraiser at Eastside Church in Bothell.
What We Highlighted
We showcased some of the unique ways Northshore schools and educators are preparing students for life after graduation with hands-ons experiences and opportunities. We couldn’t be prouder!
Attendees learned about the Core Plus Construction program, ATP/ATI, SAS No Desks Allowed, and the ILHS Senior Internship Program, and heard student testimonials on how these experiences are helping them build skills for life.
Thank you to all of our guests speakers:
- Superintendent Dr. Irish
- Damen Schueman, Director of College and Career Readiness
- WHS Alumni Emily, Noah, and TJ
- Michael Jacobsen, Northshore parent and community member
- ILHS Principal Tiffany Rodriguez Garza and ILHS Alumni Declan
- Casey Klinich, Instructor for Adult Transitions Pathways (ATP)
- SAS Principal Bryan Stutz, SAS Educators Samuel and Tyler, and SAS students
Watch: Our Build Skills for Life video, featuring ILHS Alumni, Stoup Brewing Kenmore, and Raj of AtkinsRéalis.
