Scenes from Robert Eagle Staff Middle School Ribbon Cutting

I attended the Robert Eagle Staff Middle School ribbon-cutting today and also walked thru Licton Springs K-8 and and Cascadia Elementary.   Bustling and busy were the biwords of the day for these schools.

The Good
There were several attendees of interest including former Board members Peter Maier and Sharon Peaslee along with Director Rick Burke and Director Scott Pinkham and Superintendent Nyland. As well, 46th Reps Gerry Pollet and Javier Valdez were in attendance.  Rep. Valdez spoke about the recent decision on DACA and the need to protect and welcome all children to school.

Principal Marni Campbell welcomed the crowd of parents and students.  The PTA had made up t-shirts for students with the new emblem of RESMS, the Raven.

Entering both RESMS and Cascadia, there is an information board about the history of the land and the programs.  The district invested in interactive boards for a full history of the programs.

The ceremony in naming the school was long but worthy.  Mr. Eagle Staff's brother, Thomas, introduced family members including their mother.  He went on to talk about how passionate his brother was about education and helping children.  He said his tribe, the Lakota, in South Dakota was astonished that a faraway place like Seattle would recognize his brother's efforts in this way and said he wouldn't even try to pronounce the names of the many Native American tribes in the NW.

The ceremony included many supporters and family members of Eagle Staff who were given NW quilts to wrap around themselves.  There was ceremonial smoke and then the unveiling of a great gift to the school - a real eagle staff. 
(My photo does not do it justice - the woman in the lower foreground is Principal Marni Campbell who seemed deeply moved to be part of this induction of the eagle staff to the school community.)

These are very basic looking buildings.  It's a bit startling, after touring Hazel Wolf K-8 last year, to see the difference.  Whereas HW has some areas of interest, indoors and outdoors, the Wilson-Pacific campus (not sure if that's the proper term for the entire campus at that site) has boxy and somewhat dull buildings with not much outside interest beyond the terrific murals that grace it.  I don't really understand the color palette used.

However, if the buildings are solidly built and functional, that's enough for any new school building.  

I note in Cascadia that there are these cute seats, two sizes, that are wobbly and probably are for the wiggly kids.  It also has a teaching kitchen.

The Bad
Once again, I find the finishes in these buildings to be lacking.  Seams not meeting on stairs (with some stairs having some gap areas with small depressions (see the cafeteria) and some staining in various areas. 
 
And the parking lots.  Those are some small parking spaces and where there was an SUV or mini-van parked, you see the next space empty because larger cars take up too much room.  RESMS' parking lot is a one-way loop so be aware of that.

I suspect that the traffic will be somewhat insane.  My advance is to NOT use the parking lot but park on the street (sorry, neighbors).

Licton Springs seems a bit of an after-thought to RESMS but with very friendly staff.  I notice that the buildings do have separate entrances but I was told that yes, the buildings would have their access on different floors open the whole day.  They will be sharing science labs and gyms.
