Only TWO WEEKS until Bowling for Kids! 🎳

We’re excited to gather our community for a fun-filled evening of bowling, music, prizes, team spirit, and fundraising in support of Spokane students and educators.

Events like Bowling for Kids are only possible because of the incredible support from our sponsors, teams, donors, volunteers, and community members. Thank you for helping us continue creating opportunities for students throughout Spokane Public Schools.

We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on May 28 at North Bowl!

This was too cool not to share!

University High School senior Camren Breeden turned a simple class project into something life-changing for a classmate.

After noticing fellow student Daniel, who is blind, struggling to navigate school with a flimsy, homemade mobility aid, Camren got to work. Using materials from his Career and Technical Education (CTE) class, he designed and built a custom walker to better support Daniel’s independence.

Inspired in part by his own uncle, who is also blind, Camren created a sturdy, easy-to-maneuver device with a wheeled base and properly fitted handles—allowing Daniel to move through hallways more safely and confidently.

Daniel, who lost his vision during the COVID-19 pandemic and is nonverbal, previously relied heavily on others to get around. Now, thanks to Camren’s compassion and ingenuity, he has greater autonomy and freedom at school.

With support from CTE teacher Eric Puyear, the project continues to evolve, with plans to refine the design and build additional devices for other students.

This incredible act of kindness and innovation is a powerful example of what it means to truly see and support others in our school community.

📚 Grant Impact Spotlight: North Central High School

With support from a Spokane Public Schools Foundation grant, the North Central High School library was able to purchase about 170 new books for middle grade and English language learner (ELD) students.

Library staff surveyed students to learn more about what they wanted to read, helping ensure the new titles reflect their interests and needs. The project helped students feel that the library truly represents them while giving staff more tools to support literacy and learning.

We’re grateful to the educators and staff working every day to make reading more accessible and engaging for students.
