Our vision is that every student in our district has the resources to learn, thrive, and contribute to our vibrant community.

Dr. Jack Faris, recognized community leader, says:

"Now, more than ever, we all need to help all our children succeed in school so they can succeed in life.  The Foundation for the Edmonds School District exemplifies the kind of comprehensive and strategic approach necessary to support our schools and our children, helping families with early learning programs so their children are ready to start Kindergarten ready to learn, making sure they are well nourished, guiding them to the full range of possibilities for college, vocational training, and careers. And more."
