An Issaquah dentist is showing his support for an Issaquah elementary school — and the Seahawks — in a potentially big way.

Dr. Ron Sherman of First Impressions Dental Care will donate $500 to Endeavor Elementary School for every point scored by the Seahawks during the Feb. 1game against the New England Patriots.

If the ‘Hawks pull off another blowout similar to last year’s 43-8 score against the Broncos, it could result in over a $20,000 donation to the school.

Endeavour Elementary plans to allocate the funds towards its literacy enrichment activities with the money used to purchase books for the classroom library, buy materials for the school’s literacy circle program and/or sponsor a young author’s assembly, etc.

Sherman is using the Super Bowl event as a a kick-off to what he hopes to be a series of partnerships to help fund activities for several Issaquah schools.

“We are so thankful to the local community for supporting us over the years,” Sherman said. “We’ve been looking at ways we could return the favor and give back to Issaquah families.

Sherman noted that with so much excitement surrounding the game, “we thought this would be a fun way to amplify that energy on an even more localized level. My hope is that this is the beginning of more opportunities throughout 2015 to give back to local public schools as a thank you for all that they have done for us.”

Kathy Connally, principal at Endeavour, noted that Sherman’s donation will go a long way to supporting the school’s literacy program.

” Our staff and students now have an extra special reason to cheer for the Hawks at the Big Game this year!” Connally said
