Technology is a cornerstone of modern education. Without it, we would be putting our children at a disadvantage. The foundation was able to secure a $20,000 grant from the Honorable Frank L. and Arlene G. Price Foundation that was used to purchase Chromebooks and licenses.

For many families, getting school supplies each year can be a financial burden. That’s why hundreds of backpacks with school supplies are prepared and distributed each year!

Access to information and expertise is a critical component in students’ educational journeys. Thanks to our generous supporters, we are delighted to complete the third year of this program by donating funds to our high schools and alternative schools to expand their libraries and arts materials. All other schools in the district received funding in the previous two years.

Sponsored by the Foundation, hosted by Walmart and Fred Meyer in Battle Ground, and supported by the Battle Ground Public Schools transportation company and community volunteers, Stuff the Bus is traditionally held on the third Saturday in August. A crucial part of our Back Pack Program, during a four-hour window these store partners offer shoppers lists of needed school supplies for them to purchase and donate. This effort ensures all students have the supplies they need to begin the new school year.
