Teachers were recognized for their outstanding participation in the program and students were thanked for their part in preparing creative thank-you posters and letters to the many donors who make the KIN program possible. The school received several new office chairs, a television set, and an assortment of premium zipper binders filled with school supplies. At the same time, Sterling Savings, an enthusiastic new contributor, chose the occasion to present a $15,000 check to the KIN program. This past summer, many of the Sterling Savings branches in the area participated in a fund drive that offered employees and customers an opportunity to contribute funds to provide school supplies to kids in need. Their program was a huge success. Later in the day, Sterling Savings hosted a Teachers¹ Appreciation Day at the KIN Resource Center. Teachers, Bluebill volunteers and guests were treated to an elaborate smorgasbord of liquid refreshments and elegant appetizers. Sterling Savings representatives applauded the program, recognized the commitment of teachers and volunteers, and expressed continued interest in partnering with World Vision and the Bluebills in the mutual endeavor to serve underprivileged children in Puget Sound.
