Dear students, staff, families and community,
We have two candidates for the open District 1 School Board Director Position. Interviews will take place at the Mount Baker School District School Board meeting on Thursday, March 23 at 6:00 p.m. The public may attend in person at the District Office or via Zoom.
Elementary schools are having parent conferences this week. This is a great time to check in on your child’s progress and connect with school staff. The school and parent partnerships are vital for ensuring we are working together to meet the learning and social/emotional needs of each and every student.
Our Congressman Representative Rick Larsen visited our District last Friday. He visited Acme Elementary to see first-hand the need to support facility upgrades for rural school districts. He also visited Mount Baker High School. Our ASB and FFA leaders did amazing presentations followed by a tour of our greenhouse and animal barn. I have asked him to support our application for federal grants to address our facility needs, especially the heating system at Acme Elementary. Over the weekend I was able to connect with the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Chris Reykdal to tell our story regarding the need for support for updating our facilities. I believe the message is being heard, but I will continue to push for action.
Bring your family and friends to the Community Potluck on April 10 at 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the EWRRC. The Columbia Valley Community Connections is a group of community minded people committed to improving the quality of life and community engagement in our area. I hope to see you there!
Sincerely,
Mary Sewright, Superintendent msewright@mtbaker.wednet.edu 360-617-4600
