Homeless Students Benefit from Milk Money
Over $1500 was raised through a grassroots campaign started by three Northshore parents who wanted to make a difference in their local schools. Nearly 50 local businesses featured a milk bottle on their counters!
"To me Milk Money is about the power of individuals to make a difference," said Davina Duerr, one of the campaign originators. "Three mothers over tea decided they saw a need to stop talking and start doing," she added. "By educating the community and asking everyone to literally pitch in small change we can make a big difference."
Proceeds raised from this particular campaign are being directed to provide additional support for our 170 homeless students in our district as a part of the Foundation's initiative to fund support for Advanced and Disadvantaged Students.

A special "thank you" to Woodinville - Banner Bank for allowing us to use their change counting machine!
