Two new school board members, that's good news!
1 of my kids - (high school junior) - asked if the school nurse did eye exams because she said something wasn't right with her vision ...
I said "I don't know" & said go ask the nurse & here's a pass & the nurse gave her a quick check & I got an email 20 mins. later that the student will be sent for a real eye exam & will get help buying glasses if she needs them & can't afford them -
THE Good News ... ??
YOUR Tax Dollars Helping 1 of OUR kids.

I drove by Greenlake Elementary over the weekend, and saw a very cheerful display for their annual Christmas tree sale. Consider stopping by and picking up your tree there this year, and helping a great little school:

2009 Rainier Beach High School alum, Brittany Green Criminal Justice Pre-Law major who attends Lincoln University in Philadelphia, makes the Dean's List during the 2011 Honors Convocation.
My 8th grader's Ultimate Frisbee team lost to Mercer in the tournament finals and I just have to say that those Mercer kids were fabulous team players and tremendously good sports.
Thank you, TraceyS! Green Lake is my kids' school, and the tree lot is a major fundraiser every year. I know Lawton does a tree sale, too.
