Since 1986 the Snohomish Education Foundation (SEF) has provided teachers and staff members of the Snohomish School District funds that help “foster student learning with innovative and creative programs.” The SEF provides scholarships to graduating seniors, supports Snohomish School District-wide programs, funds the Hansen Shoe Fund and provides Grants to individuals employed by the Snohomish School District that support and enrich student learning and curriculum outcomes.

Grant Recipient Follow Up
Once the grant funds have been dispersed and used, the Foundation would like feedback about the how the materials or resources benefited your students. Photographs, responses from students, videos and teacher comments are some of the ways you can share how the funds were used. SEF will send a survey toward the end of the academic year to gather this information from you and to get your feedback.
