Recent Highlights

Fifth graders  in Redshaw, Frieden and Emig classes participated in a virtual  SKYPE visit by well-known author, Linda Sue Park. Students had read and studied “A Single Shard”, Newbery award winning book written by Ms. Park. The author shared personal stories and writing tips with the students in the hour long presentation. 

Kindergarteners  recently enjoyed a community based field trip to the King County Library branch in Bellevue. Students enjoyed a tour and stories read by the librarian. The big highlight was when students received their own library card and checked out a a book!
