Yesterday, I had the privilege of accompanying three staff members from Glacier Park Elementary, representatives of the PTA, a board member, and our public information officer to Garfield High School where they received an award for being a 2008 School of Distinction. This is the second year of the award begun in our state to honor schools that perform above the state average on the WASL and achieve growth over a six year period. Glacier Park is one of only 53 elementary schools in the state that received this honor.
It truly was an honor for me to share in this ceremony and see Emilie, Ruth, and Renae on the stage to accept the award from Terry. Their commitment to all students is evident in their success as measured by the WASL, in the leadership from Emilie and the leadership team, and in their focus on instruction. It has been a pleasure to watch and in some small way support this school on their professional learning community journey.
Did anyone notice that I didn't include football scores in my last Sunday blog entry? All I can say is thanks for the BEARS or it would have been another sweep in the wrong column. Looking to this weekend the best thing going is that the Cougars have a bye and the Seahawk's opponent fired their coach this week. Maybe that will help them find a passing game and the ability to stop someone on third down.
