Exciting week for MUKILTEO SCHOOL DISTRICT students! They dived deep into the world of Microsoft on a #CareerTour. From a coding workshop to exploring advances in tech at the Visitor's Center, they were inspired by the possibilities. Plus, they learned about Microsoft's commitment to a sustainable future. Thanks to our partners for an unforgettable experience!

Earlier this school year, parents and caregivers from MUKILTEO SCHOOL DISTRICT participated in our Natural Leaders Academy, an equitable family engagement program that empowers families as leaders within their school communities. The Academy aims to shift families from being informed about schools to being actively involved, ensuring their valuable expertise and assets are honored throughout their children's education. Tailored to Mukilteo School District, the Academy focused on fostering a stronger sense of belonging for families within school spaces. Participants culminated their experience by developing a Leadership Project. In Mukilteo, one impactful project involved planning a Family Cafe, creating a welcoming space for families to connect and build community within their schools. #FamilyEngagement #NaturalLeaders #Mukilteo #MukilteoSchoolDistrict
