President's Message

Spring Note from the PTSA President

Gayle P

President's Message:

Happy Spring! I hope everyone had a nice spring break and is getting some time to enjoy the nicer weather!

I first want to give a shout out to Mr Olegario, Ms Alice, Ms Pierce, Principal Jaskot, Mr Taylor, Mr Taylor's brother, Matt, and all the teachers, staff, and parents who helped make our Peace, Love, and Safety Walk a great success. If you haven't seen any of the aerial photos yet, you should definitely check them out.  

peace

I would also like to give a shout out too all the BF Day students for running so many laps at the Fun Run and all the volunteers who made it happen, especially Katie Lawson, Julie & Jason Bragg, Cheryl Hlavac and everyone who helped set up the course, mark tags, provide water, and cheer on all our runners! Also a shout out to our sponsors the Brooks Powers Group and Brooks Running.

Final shout out to Anisa Nun and Julietta Skoog for spearheading the Community and Culture Potluck and the Wallingford Boys and Girls Club. There was such an amazing variety of excellent food, I learned some great information from the librarian from Seattle Public Library, and the Family Works and Somali Health Board representatives provided excellent information as well!
