Free Thanksgiving Meals

Every year, Drew Crew helps to feed CKSD families at Thanksgiving. This year, we're able to support 25 families at Barker Creek.

We’re so grateful for the generosity of our community and the hard work of our team to make this possible. Together, we’re spreading kindness and ensuring every family can enjoy a warm holiday meal. 🦃💛

Please let us know if you'd like one of these meals by calling our front office at 360-662-2570!

"Barker Creek Cares" with a heart surrounding the Barker Creek owl

Support for our Barker Creek families

We understand that times can be tough — no matter the challenges, we want you to know you’re not alone.

Students have access to a collection of hygiene products, school supplies, our comfort closet for clothing needs, food bank, washer/dryer, shower facilities, and free breakfast and lunch while on campus during mealtimes (7:30-8:00am & 11:00-11:35am).

All students have access to these resources, no questions asked.

Barker Creek partners with Backpacks4Kids to provide monthly food boxes to families. If you are interested in this resource, please contact our Office Manager, Bri Braverman, at 360-622-2570 ext 2572.

Impact Aid Survey Reminder

Our annual Impact Aid Survey opened on October 1st and is available to families through the Parent Access Portal. This program helps us offset lost property tax revenue due to the presence of tax-exempt federal property. This survey is critical to our resources for students. We must receive information for each student. Thank you for your support!
