Last Day of School and Some Good News
The Seattle World School had its first graduating class of students who finished the four-year program. Thirteen students from five different countries were the graduates. The 4-year program has 175 students overall. Congratulation graduates!
(World School, in a day, raised $8,000 to pay for the funeral of Cuong Uong, a student who drown in Lake Washington on June 7th.)
The Times had a great story about the fabulous Ballard High film program that continues to roll on to more awards. And one name - and you better remember it because this kid will win an Emmy or Oscar someday, Leo Pfeifer - was involved in every single film that won an award.
The program won five awards the films they entered into the competition, some documentaries and drama. The awards were given at the NW Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences festival.
As well, two documentaries won awards at the Dominique Dunne Film Competition (you'll remember Ms. Dunne as the older sister in the original Poltergeist). Another documentary won a jury prize at the recent Seattle International Film Festival.
Oh that last day of school - such fun memories. (With apologies to the lyrics being out of order -
To Sir With Love.)
The time has come for closing books
And long last looks must end
And as I leave I know
That I am leaving my best friend
Those school girl days of telling tales
And biting nails are gone
But in my mind I know
They will still live on and on

And as I leave I know
That I am leaving my best friend
A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong
That's a lot to learn, what
can I give you in return?

Good luck to your daughter!

The shock to her system might be the blight right across the street AND the building of the light rail station right next to the school. But it'll all work out.
Such a beautiful building. Makes Palo Alto High and a lot of the UW buildings look like dumps.
