Fundraising for JSIS
Annual Fund - JSIS Direct Appeal Fundraising Campaign
Starts February 28, 2011
When JSIS first started, numerous grants were given to us to help start up our program. Ten years later, our program is thriving despite the fact that the start-up grants are no longer available to us. This is possible due to the tremendous support from our families through the annual fund. The money raised is managed by the school and is used for maintaining instructional assistants in the immersion classrooms. The 2010 Annual Fund raised $172,000. Considering how important our instructional assistants are in providing the support to students, we are so grateful for the continued support by all of JSIS families.

Items sold at the PTSA table at school events. Crafty volunteers always needed contact Barb Burrill at barb@raaen.com.
Recycle Cell Phones
Practice responsible recycling and JSIS gets a rebate from every phone, working or not. Bring your phones to school and leave them in the drop box in the Volunteer Room.
The MOVE-A-THON is both a celebration of motion and an old-fashioned fundraiser, emphasis on the "fun." Kids get pledges from friends, family, and neighbors based on either a flat amount, or the distance they anticipate traveling. Then they bring their bikes, or scooters, or rollerskates, or just their feet down to the Burke-Gilman Trail and move!
