Dear Friends and Partners,
As we move into fall, we’re celebrating the impact of schools like Catalyst Public Schools in Washington, the commitment of our NorCal team giving back in their community, and the milestones ahead as we mark 20 years of Blueprint.
This month we’re also looking forward to connecting with many of you at upcoming events in Houston, Palm Springs, New Orleans, and Los Angeles. Don't forget to RSVP to BLUEPRINT @20.
Thanks for being part of this journey with us.
Warmly,
John Sun, CEO

Catalyst Public Schools is on the move!
Their high school program, which launched last year, is now thriving at the Marvin Williams Recreation Center in Bremerton. With plans to grow into 11th and 12th grade, Catalyst will soon expand into the neighboring Opal Robertson Teen Center—transforming it into new classrooms, discussion spaces, and staff offices to create a connected high school campus.
Blueprint is proud to partner with Catalyst on this expansion, helping bring their vision to life and ensuring more Bremerton families have access to high-quality public school options.

COMMUNITY IMPACT
NorCal Team Volunteers at Alameda County Community Food Bank
The Northern California team spent the afternoon in September at Alameda County Community Food Bank for their fall team building—and they got their hands busy bagging onions and apples! Together with other volunteers, more than 22,000 lbs of food were sorted—enough to create 18,000+ meals for our community.
It was a meaningful way to strengthen the team while giving back to the Bay Area. Big thanks to the Food Bank for hosting Blueprint and for the critical work they do every day to fight hunger.
