Your Gift Matters!

Funds raised in our annual giving campaign support vital benefits for all TIDE students. This year, we want to get as many families involved as possible, because when we all give a gift, whether $5 or $5,000, together we will reach our goal!

College & Career Readiness

• We would like to support the Summer Professional Skills by providing stipends to the students who participate in this program. This is a unique opportunity at TIDE where students will apply & interview and once accepted into the program they will:

1) Learning skills needed to succeed in the business world

2) Field trips to business partners and experiences with local companies

3) Career exploration activities

4) Preparation to apply for internship opportunities

• Additionally, we help fund an extra counselor to help read & advise students on their college essays, as they navigate the application process.

Supporting Senior Students

• Senior year is full of extra fun activities and we want all students to participate in every activity. This is in addition to a discretionary fund that the foundation already provides that allows all students to participate in dances, yearbooks and other school activities.

After School Enrichment

• The district supports TIDE by providing stipends to encourage staff to advise clubs. The foundation provides funding to support the creation of new clubs and provide extras the the clubs may like to participate in; like a camping field trip for the Touch Grass club, or help to fund students in journalism so they might participate in the National High School Journalism Convention in Seattle.
