Last year, the family of Stephen Magnenat donated $50,000 to create an endowment for a Waskowitz scholarship fund. The interest from this endowment will be used to provide needed funds to Highline Public Schools sixth-grade students who can not afford the Waskowitz fee.

The Puget Sound Youth Foundation, which exists to support Camp Waskowitz, is planning to develop a fundraiser to add another $50,000 to the Stephen Magnenat Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund. The Foundation is seeking community members to help develop the fundraiser.

If you are interested in supporting Camp Waskowitz and ensuring that all sixth graders can go to camp, please come to the planning meeting Wednesday, March 5, 5-6:30 p.m. at the school district central office in Burien.

The Steven Magnenat endowment fund was established by Marvista teacher Jennifer Kolbe in honor of her brother.
