Thank You Tim & Mark!

A tremendous, heart-felt thank you goes to Tim Jenks
and Mark Rutherford for their efforts to bring the 6th
Grade Trip home last Friday! Tim Jenks flew Steve
Edele and Mark Rutherford to Bend, Oregon on Friday,
after Jim had to return early to Seattle for emergency
laser surgery on his eye. Steve and Mark took over
driving responsibilities to get the 6th graders back
home from their travel study week.

VHS Casa Hogar Trip

This summer, Sally Adam will be leading a trip to Mexico with a group of Vashon High School students.  The VHS juniors are traveling to Mexico as part of a service project to provide support to children at Casa Hogar.

The Harbor School has a long standing relationship with Casa Hogar, and conducts an annual trip to the shelter.  Unfortunately, the trip planned for this year's 8th grade class was cancelled due to uncertainty based on the developing swine flu news.

Snow is gone melting away
Beautiful sweet peas

Still cold and dreary
The wolves singing to the moon
The quiet cold night

News from Steve: Grade Level Conversations

I am reviving the custom of periodic grade level conversations with parents. These forums are an opportunity for you to meet with me to speak to various school programs, concerns you may have, or questions you need answered. At times these sessions will have a particular topic; at other times it will be a more open question and answer format.
