Friday Open Thread
From SPS Communications:
Students from Ballard, Roosevelt and Garfield high schools won top honors in the prestigious Washington State Solo and Ensemble Contest held April 26-27 at Central Washington University. Students from Ballard, Roosevelt and Garfield high schools took first place in their categories.
I note that these schools (and I include Chief Sealth Int'l which also won an award) won a large number of awards, both group and individual. Congrats to all the students, teachers and parents!
Also, Roosevelt student Benjamin Briggs was a semifinalist at the English-Speaking Union National Shakespeare Competition in NYC in April.
The public is invited to the Naramore Art Show's closing reception and awards ceremony May 10 at the Seattle Arts Museum. The show, which ends May 12, features the artwork of about 200 young artists from Seattle Public Schools' middle and high schools.
The event will start at 6 p.m. as the organizers honor all participants for their amazing creativity. The closing reception will be followed by Seattle Art Museum’s Teen Night Out.
The Naramore Art Show is a time-honored tradition that is named for Floyd J. Naramore, an architect who designed local public schools from 1919 to 1941.
Threads to come; Assessment Taskforce makes recommendations, Common Core series, Charter Commission meeting review (as I predicted and tweeted, Steve Sundquist is chair) and Arts update.
What's on your mind?
