Sno-King School Retirees Award Educator Mini-Grants

Huge gratitude to Sno-King School Retirees! 🌟

Each fall, the Sno-King School Retirees (SKSR)—an organization of active and retired employees from the Edmonds, Northshore, and Shoreline School Districts—awards educator mini-grants to support classroom learning. Since 1998, SKSR has awarded more than $158,000 in grants, with $75,155 going to Shoreline Schools.
