F45 Bothell is encouraging its members and the community to support Northshore students and teachers with this month's charity focus.

Our goal is to raise $1000 to provide 1 classroom grant in the district.    

Donations made through this link between now and April 30th will be matched by the Northshore Schools Foundation's Ignite fund.

Dr. Tanner G. Duckrey is a Positive Behavior Incentive School. This has dramatically shifted our school culture and aided the growth of student achievement. We have been awarded the PBIS school of the year by the state of Pennsylvania. Our PBIS program also supports the growth of student attendance, which has been a main focus during the pandemic. We are not provided a direct budget to support the purchasing of incentives and we cannot purchase anything through our school’s operational budget. Every day Duckrey scholars have the opportunity to earn Duckrey Diamonds, the Diamonds are used to purchase items in our prize room. Your donation will allow us to provide students access to incentives that the students directly desire as indicated through surveys given to students and families. Our incentives are specific to a student's developmental age. We have also expanded our use of incentives to families to drive participation in parent and family workshops on how they can help support student achievement at home. Some of the incentives we are looking to purchase include gift cards to local retailers that the students frequent, pizzas and other healthy food options that students enjoy delivered right to their door. This system will continue to help us reward students for positive behavior. Your donation will be greatly appreciated. https://www.pbis.org/

Kennedy Crossan is a small K-5 school in need of a complete furniture overhaul.  A small school with school data that stands out from most schools, the school does not receive the money needed to upgrade our school environment from year-to-year.  Out furniture is old, out dated, and not conducive to our small school and small classroom nature.  Having more tables and less desks can make the classroom feel more fluid and less cramped; especially with the older grades 3-5 students.   

We are seeking to purchase furniture that is more free moving and easy to manipulate as it relates to how students are grouped, yet the furniture allows for collaboration when needed.  We are looking to purchase chairs that are flexible in nature provide our students with the option to move while seated to alleviate any anxiety.  

We have 16 classrooms in total and every classroom is in need of overhaul which includes:

Collaborative tables and chairs

Flexible Seats

Teacher Desks and chairs

I thank you for your time and consideration to our project. 

My Sincerest Regards,

Dr. Bright, Principal
