Friday Open Thread
Happy 80th birthday to public education champion, Diane Ravitch.This weekend sees the opening of the Special Olympics in Seattle.
I will have that Waitlist Work Session thread this weekend. However, fyi, there was no real discussion about waitlist movement.
I'll also have a thread on what YOU can do if you do not like what is happening in our country. Good news - there ARE things to be done but like most of what you want in life, it's going to take much hard work.
News from Pathfinder K-8 that students found, in a mural at the school, an image of slaves on a ship coming to America. From the district's story:

With the guidance of eighth-grade teacher Ami Pendley and Seattle University graduate intern Maria Abdullahi, the students leapt into action to make a lasting change to their school environment.

The beloved Forsyth County teacher died on June 9th at Northside Hospital-Forsyth following a prolonged battle with cancer.
