Circumnavigate Whidbey 2020:  Socially Distant!

Circumnavigate Whidbey is a fundraiser for Coupeville students. All money raised supports teacher grants for educational enrichment, college scholarships, and financial resources for students in need to equally access activities and learning opportunities. In the past three years, this event has raised over $60,000.

2020 has been a year like no other - but we are bound and determined to do all we can for our community.  This year, on September 5th, parents will Circumnavigate separate sections of Whidbey Island - 160 miles of run, bike, and water! 

Wait, there is more! - we invite any of you to run, bike, swim, hike, paddle, walk on September 5th and tell us about it on Facebook. 

 Fundraising to support the Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools 

 Founded in 1997, we provide an extra measure of support to Coupeville students in three major areas:

• College Scholarships - Every year, thousands of dollars are awarded to graduating seniors.
• Teacher Grants – In 2019-2020 school year, the Foundation funded 40 teacher grants for educational enrichment totaling over $30,000. Here are just a few examples: multiple field trips, classroom library books, support to the amazing new school lunch program, materials to build birdhouses, outdoor play areas, and enrichment material for the classroom.
• Promise Fund- We provide financial resources for students in need to equally access activities and learning opportunities in our school district.
