Eagle Harbor Book Company will join several island businesses in generating pledge money to help out local schools on Wednesday, July 22.
On Wednesday July 22, island businesses—Dana’s ShowHouse, Eagle Harbor Books (sales percentage donated from all sales between 5 and 7 pm), Esther’s Fabrics, Paper Products and Willows Naturally—will donate a percentage of sales during their last two hours before closing to the Save Our Teachers Fund.
The Save Our Teachers Fund (sponsored by the Bainbridge Schools Foundation, or BSF) benefits the Bainbridge Island School District (BISD) through the generation of allocations to cover teacher salaries, grants, and training needed by the district to achieve its standard of educational excellence when state and local funding comes up short.
BSF’s 2009-2010 fiscal year started July 1 and they continue to aim to achieve a pledge amount of $450,000 to fund district shortfalls that are the result of deep spending cuts. The BISD is already recipient of some of the lowest per-pupil funding in the state of Washington.
Residents who support the campaign may direct additional donations to American Marine Bank, the Save Our Teachers mailbox at 8489 Madison Ave, or paid through the website at www.bainbridgeschoolsfoundation.org.
