Potlatch Awards CEF $2500 for Science Equipment

Potlatch Corporation has donated $2500 to the Clarkston Education Foundation to purchase science equipment. The money will be used by the Clarkston High School Science Department to purchase 8 handheld Vernier LabQuest interface units. These units will improve the student’s involvement with science experiments and stimulate their interest in data collection and modern technology. 

The Clarkston Education Foundation is proud to be partnering with Potlatch to improve the science equipment at Clarkston High School. We greatly appreciate their contribution to our efforts of enhancing education in Clarkston schools.

As an affiliate, we receive annual preference for a $2,000 state matching grant to help build our scholarship program. Additionally, our recipients are ensured proper treatment of their scholarships when going to any of the 25 participating Washington colleges in the Dollars for Scholars Collegiate Partner Program. Gonzaga University, Pacific Lutheran University, St. Martin’s College, Central Washington University and Heritage University will also match a scholarship that we award to a student enrolling in their institutions. The Clarkston Education Foundation is excited to be a part of this nationwide organization!

Due to our affiliation with Dollars for Scholars, on April 8, 2008, the Clarkston Education Foundation was awarded a $2,000 matching endowment grant by the WA Dept of Higher Education Coordinating Board. We thank them for their continued support of education in our community. In addition, thank you to our generous donors who helped us receive this grant by donating to CEF.
