What an opportunity this is for Enumclaw kids! Cedar River is an amazing school, and here is an…Read More opportunity to experience it for just a materials fee ($25 for a rocket.) I wish I were 10-12 years old, if only to be able to attend this hands-on technology series.

A Blue Light Tribute to the…Read More Enumclaw Rotary Foundation
Blue lights broke the darkness of the Field House on Saturday night in tribute to the Enumclaw Rotary Foundation. The event was the Enumclaw Schools Foundation’s 5th Annual Full Day Kindergarten Dinner/Auction held April 13 and the blue lights came from light sabers (think Darth Vader). The reason for the tribute was to accent our gratitude for the amazing Enumclaw Rotarians who have made it possible for 23 five-year-olds to attend full day kindergarten over five school years. The Enumclaw Rotary Foundation has provided full scholarships at $2,500 each, for students who are in need of the enriched curriculum and adjustment that takes place in a full day kindergarten classroom. The Enumclaw Schools Foundation extends a heartfelt thank you to the Enumclaw Rotary Foundation for their extraordinary gift to the children in our school district! Thank you!

It was a great night! The light saber fundraiser was fun and the food was amazing (thank you Scott…Read More for that). My husband enjoyed bidding on some of the items for such a great cause. Our daughter didn't go to school in the Enumclaw School District, but if she had, I would have loved the chance for her to have full day Kindergarten.

Hi Jordan. Your perspective is very valid and thank you for sharing them on Patch. In the case of…Read More this FFA presentation, however, I don't believe the specific arguments the students made necessarily reflected their personal views; their objective was to research and present the perspectives of both sides of the issue. I think they did a pretty good job of it.

Please don't take this offensively, but I feel very strongly about not poisoning ourselves, our…Read More children, and our society. The person that is claiming things like GENETICALLY MODIFIED SALMON are fine to eat, or that GMOs aren't harmful to our bodies, she doesn't look like the healthiest example.....

It is interesting that 10th graders show higher rates of depression and suicidal thoughts than the…Read More 12th graders. I wonder if that is usually the case or if it correlates with with some outside influence, such as war, 9/11 or economy, during an important milestone in their lives.

Good news about tobacco use. I do find it depressing that teens consider marijuana use less risky…Read More while thoughts of suicide are going up. Studies have shown a direct correlation of marijuana addiction to depression and suicide.
