Summary
During public comment at the June 9 meeting, a group calling itself the Clover Park Foundation announced its official launch and said it will begin a business-focused fundraising campaign with a goal of $500,000 to support STEAM, fine arts and student experiences.
During the public-comment period of the June 9 meeting, Carol Jacobs announced the official launch of the Clover Park Foundation and outlined an initial fundraising plan aimed at supporting district students and teachers.
Jacobs said the foundation has formally launched and that founding volunteers and board members include Meganique (surname not specified), Sherry Arkell, Holly Bokey, Norma Malo and Jennifer Chancellor. She said the group’s next step is a major fundraising campaign to district business partners, and stated, "It is our goal, lofty, but we believe attainable of $500,000." Jacobs said the foundation plans a back-to-school public campaign and emphasized that board members will not receive payments from the fund.

She asked for community volunteers, time and donations and said the foundation will be visible in district activities moving forward.
