Alpha Delta Kappa is an honorary fraternal organization of 30,000 women educators world-wide, dedicated to educational excellence, altruism and world understanding.

Alpha Delta Chapter is home to teachers from the Shoreline and Edmonds school districts. One of our highest, and favorite, goals is to “promote educational and charitable projects and activities, to sponsor scholarships, to further and maintain worthy standards in the field of education and to cooperate with worthy community programs relating to education and charities.”

Toward that end, each year, during ADK Month, the Alpha Delta Chapter collects and distributes school supplies to nine elementary schools in the Shoreline and Edmonds School Districts. All of the schools involved have teachers within our chapter, some now retired. 

Shopping bags of pencils, pens, notebooks, crayons, etc. were distributed to each of the schools, along with cash totaling roughly $2500. Our active teachers also received bags of supplies for their individual classrooms.

Alpha Delta Chapter is known for its scholarships to current and retired teachers, as well as student scholarships for a graduating senior entering the teaching profession.
