Family Event Fundraiser at Jane Addams K-8 on Saturday


Do you have kids in pre-school through 3rd grade? Then don’t miss this rare Northwest appearance from the award-winning host of PBS KIDS' Music Time with SteveSongs!

SteveSongs Family Benefit Concert - Saturday, March 3rd at 3:00PM
Jane Addams K-8 School Theatre - 11051 34th Avenue NE, Seattle

Who is SteveSongs?
Steve Roslonek has performed his smart, catchy music from the White House to the West Coast. Entertaining kids and families for a dozen years - but as Zooglobble recommended: “If you just know him as Mr. Steve from PBS Kids, then you’re missing half the story. He’s got a whole bunch of fun, often funny, music for a slightly older crowd.” His music is intelligent, educational, and fun – and something that the adults in the family don’t mind hearing over and over.

Check it out for yourself. Here is a concert video of one of Steve’s great science oriented songs called Gravity -

And this is a link to the brand new Video that Steve did for Recess Rocks – a national program to get our kids up and active -

You can bet that you’ll hear both of these on Saturday – and both will have the whole crowd up and involved!

Tuesday Open Thread

The speaker list is up for the Board meeting tomorrow; not as packed as I thought with just four people on the waitlist. The majority of the speakers are speaking on high school boundaries (with several wanting to talk about Ballard High). There are only three of us speaking about the Green Dot resolution asking the City to not grant the zoning departures that Green Dot has requested.  It's me, long-time watchdog, Chris Jackins, and the head of the Washington State Charter Schools Association, Patrick D'Amelio.  (I knew Mr. D'Amelio when he headed the Alliance for Education and Big Brothers and Big Sisters; he's a stand-up guy.)

Breaking It Down: Where the District Might Close Schools

Update 2: an absolutely fabulous interactive map made by parent Beth Day (@thebethocracy on Twitter - she covers Board meetings and is fun to read).   end of update    Update 1: Mea culpa, I did indeed get Decatur and Thornton Creek mixed up. Thanks to all for the correction. end of update   I suspect some who read this post will be irate. Why do this? Because the district seems very hellbent on this effort with no oversight skid marks from the Board.    To clearly state - I do not believe that closing 20 schools is a good idea. I think they hit on 20 because they thought it might bring in the most savings. But the jury is still out on the savings because the district has not shown its work nor its data. I suspect closing schools and THEN leasing/renting them is the big plan but that means the district really has to keep the buildings up.   But this district, with its happy talk about "well-resourced schools" is NOT acknowledging the pain and yes, grief, that is to come fro

Seattle School Board Meeting, Wednesday, September 18,2024

Please let us know if you attend the rally before the meeting.  Seeing photos from Twitter; looks like a good crowd at the rally. The West Seattle Blog is there reporting.  I am going to attempt to live blog so you will see abbreviations, spelling/grammar errors, etc. I will clean it up but I think it is worth trying to do. I will be refreshing the page as I go.  I am sad to see that apparently President Liza Rankin is not even going to allow 10 people over the regular 20 to testify. Just five.  Also, right at the beginning, the Board has stuck in, after Board comments, a Progress Monitoring presentation. They could have put it at the end but they didn't. They think - in 45 minutes - they can do Superintendent comments, Board comments and this presentation. I doubt that public testimony will start on-time. Tone-deaf doesn't even cover it with Board leadership. To note, apparently the district scheduled the NE community meeting on closures on Rosh Hashanah which is October 2. I
