2018-2019 Annual Report
Our Mission
At The Island School we educate each of our children; we nourish their innate curiosity, inspire a lifelong enthusiasm for learning, and foster respect and appreciation for themselves and others.
Dear Families and Friends of The Island School,
Greeting enthusiastic learners each morning really makes my day. The children of The Island School are curious students who are confident in their abilities, yet appreciative of others.
So, why do kids eagerly arrive at The Island School every day? Our staff, families and community believe:
Your generosity provides innovative learning experiences to our students who become compassionate, curious graduates who love learning. What a gift! Together we are supporting the next generation of creative, caring citizens who will undoubtedly positively change our world in big and small ways.
Gratefully,
Amanda Ward
Head of School
2018 - 2019 Success Story
Students Explore the Bigger World
Our second and fifth graders worked together to create the Kids Can Make a Difference Calendar 2019 to support communities on Bainbridge Island’s sister island of Ometepe, Nicaragua.
First, volunteers with Bainbridge Ometepe Sister Islands Association (BOSIA) shared stories of the islands’ long relationship with each other.
Then, students researched landmarks that make each island special, formed cross-grade teams, drew the illustrations and chose relevant facts to share.
The students traveled to Kent, WA to observe the printing process firsthand, before selling calendars on the sidewalks of Bainbridge, raising $6,870 in three weeks.
Finally, fifth graders put both their hearts and their minds to work on the budget. They selected nine BOSIA programs to fund, including university scholarships, library books, equipment and workshops for blind students and deaf students and a weekend ambulance driver’s salary. As a result of the project, kids developed empathy for others and put their hard work into a real-world philanthropic project.
