Today we honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day, 81 years after the liberation of Auschwitz‑Birkenau. Hate must never again be allowed to spread. As Burke warned: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do Nothing."

The students in the AVID class researched colleges, prepared booths- with college materials, and took on the role of college representatives. They would then talk to perspective students and try to recruit them to the college they represented. A highly effective learning simulation.

"Children must be taught how to think, not what to think." - Margaret Mead’s quote emphasizes that the goal of education is not to fill children’s minds with predetermined answers, but to help them develop the skills to question, analyze, and understand the world for themselves.

Another successful Evacuation and Reunification Drill! We had two grade bands—elementary and high school—so older students can help younger ones in emergencies. We spent time with games, pizza, and drills. Big thanks to Timberlake Church.

Washington allocated just $6M for school safety grants across 295 districts (up to $500K each). With 2,550 public schools, small districts in our area didn’t receive funding. Safety is a priority in words, not in dollars. We need fair, proportional support to keep kids safe. #EdSafety
