Amy Dubin was an inspirational and well loved art teacher at Vashon High School. She made an impact on her students that will not be forgotten. Her classroom was a creative and fun place to be where everyone was welcome. Ms. Dubin passed away from cancer last spring but our community wants to continue her passion for art and education.
To honor her work and carry on her legacy, we are creating the Amy Dubin Memorial Fund through the Vashon Community Scholarship Foundation (VCSF). The VCSF was established in 1986 by a group of volunteers comprised of parents and community members to solicit and coordinate financial support for Vashon Island School District graduating seniors who wished to continue their education and training. Since then, the VCSF has distributed more than $1.5 million in scholarships.
As a 2009 VHS graduate and recipient of several VCSF scholarships, I know how valuable and important this financial and community support was in my college education. I recently graduated from California College of the Arts with a BFA in Graphic Design and truly feel Ms. Dubin contributed to my success.
In an effort to “pay it forward”, my goal is to raise $3000 to provide scholarships for three 2014 VHS graduates wishing to pursue a degree in the arts. Any donation, no matter how large or small, will be appreciated and help make a difference.
To make a donation online through PayPal please use this link to the VCSF webpage and click the Donate button on the left sidebar: www.vashonscholarshipfoundation.org
Donations by check should be made payable and mailed to:
VCSF, P.O. Box 1413

Please be sure to put Amy Dubin Fund in the memo line of any donations. You can also visit the Memorial Fund in Honor of Amy Dubin page on Facebook.
