“I feel privileged to be able to support students in my classes and in the Science Fair Club to pursue science research projects. Being able to financially assist these students has allowed me to encourage students to strive for and implement rigor in their projects.”

2016 Knowledge Bowl Team
“The grant has made a HUGE impact on Knowledge Bowl… Without the grant I would have had to limit the number of students that could participate… We have had two competitions so far, and Sequim has by the far the biggest teams in our ESD, bigger than all the 3A and 4A teams. It makes me feel so proud. Our top squad, has taken first place in both tournaments, beating out about 55 other squads… It has been a fantastic year so far, and we couldn’t have done it without this grant. Thank you so much.”
