It also awards scholarships for graduating seniors in need, and Learning Improvement Grants to help teachers increase student learning with materials and enrichment activities.

The event will feature keynote speaker Erin Jones, director of Equity and Achievement for Federal Way Public Schools and former assistant superintendent of Student Achievement with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
