My Edmonds News: Foundation for Edmonds School District raises $309K during 40th Ruby Gala

Celebrating 40 years of service, the Foundation for Edmonds School District held its 40th Ruby Anniversary Gala last month, raising over $309,000 to support district children in need. It will be used to provide a wide range of programs and support services for Edmonds School District students.

The gala, at the Edmonds Waterfront Center March 15, drew 200 local civic and business leaders, district staff, sponsors and community supporters.

Since its inception in 1984, the foundation has provided resources, grants and support to district students, teachers and schools, with the goal of fostering educational excellence. Programs include early learning, classroom and schoolwide grants for innovative teaching ideas, on-the-job training, postsecondary scholarships, school supplies and reading programs — plus nutrition services provided by the Nourishing Network.
