Welcome Back to our Students and Teachers!
The Shaker Schools Foundation is raising $40,000 to help provide the necessary tools for our students to learn and connect in a remote learning environment.
Funds will be used for headsets with microphones for K-6 students, computer mice for our K-4 students, magnetic counting and letter sets for PreK, a district-wide subscription to “Read&Write for Google Chrome,” and other resources for special classes such as art and music to spark creativity and connection during remote learning.
To help us reach our $40,000 goal by September 12, two anonymous donors are offering a one-to-one match, up to a total of $15,000, for gifts made to the TLC Fund.
Show our Shaker students some TLC! Thank you for your support!

Support Raider Football!
Shaker Schools Foundation is excited to partner with the football team, Coach Nicholson, and the entire coaching staff to help raise funds for Raider Football this year.
The football team works hard during the season and throughout the school year to represent Raider Football, Shaker Heights High School, and our community in a positive way. The Shaker Schools Foundation is pleased to have this special opportunity to support these young men, on and off the field. Donations will go towards specialty training equipment, support staff, future team events, the Raider Platoon program, volunteer coach program, academic incentives, team meals, and post-practice/workout nutrition.
Coach Nicholson provides more information about the program here. Please view the short video to hear directly from our student-athletes about what the Shaker football program means to them.
Thank you! Your support makes a difference for our student-athletes!
Rashad L. Burnley Minority Achievement Memorial Fund
