One Last Chance to Weed

Help Us Clean Up For the Summer

Summer is almost upon us. Join your friends at Meridian Park this Sunday, June 7, for once last romp in the weeds.

We'll be back in the Fall, getting ready for the Back-to-School BBQ. Watch your mail (and email) for the date.

Thank you to everyone who has participated this year. Every little bit helps -- from a couple of weeds, to pulling out the blackberry brambles. Working together, we've made a beautiful yard for our school!

Embracing Shoreline at Meridian Park

A great big Thank You! to everyone who helped out during the Embrace Shoreline event on May 16.

Thank you very much to each of these groups for your for your contributions to our community, and to this wonderful event!

Library Funding Legislation

In April, the Washington State Legislature passed an education reform bill which includes a school librarian as a funded line item. Now comes the funding part. There is a concern about the lack of funding to support this new legislation, and whether the money needed to make this important legislation successful will be available. Click here to read an article published about the historic legislation. The links to the right take you to sites with a wealth of information on the issues concerning our schools.
