Stakeholder support serves as critical piece of student opportunities
Tacoma Public Schools is profoundly grateful for the hard work and generosity of our many partners who support our students and families. These valued stakeholders enable us to expand opportunities and create lasting impacts for all of our students.
These opportunities are available thanks to our community partners, including Tacoma Creates, private philanthropy, City of Tacoma, Pierce County, Greentrike, Parks Tacoma, Tacoma Public Schools and individual donors.
We are honored to be among the recipients of a generous donation from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott. Her transformative funding bolsters programs like Beyond the Bell.
We are also grateful for the critical support of Sen. Maria Cantwell, whose congressional earmarks are instrumental in securing additional funding to expand and sustain these critical programs.
Going Beyond the School Day
Through programs like Beyond the Bell and Club B, kids in our elementary and middle schools have access to fun, meaningful after-school activities. And – like teachers – the people who lead the activities are trained in Whole Child practices like social emotional learning. That way, after school feels directly connected to the school day – with people who care, know and support our kids.
Hear from Shon Sylvia, Executive Director of Metro Parks Tacoma, why it’s so important to build strong programs for Tacoma’s kids when they’re not at school.
