District 4th-6th grade students prepared their favorite after-school snacks as part of the annual “Future Chefs Challenge/Kids Can Cook" Cooking Contest, sponsored by the district’s Food Services Dept. Finalists prepared their creations at Glacier Peak High School on January 26 for a panel of judges who selected the grand prize winners. Glacier Peak High School culinary students assisted the 4th-6th grade students in the kitchen and helped them prepare their snacks for the judges and guests. In December, students were invited to submit recipes for their favorite after-school snacks. Student finalists were selected from the submitted recipes.

The James Hansen Memorial Shoe Fund is used to purchase shoes for Snohomish School District students in kindergarten through 12th grade who cannot afford them. Last year, about 500 students received shoes through the program.
SEF was formed in 1986 to help provide broader educational opportunities for Snohomish School District students. Since the group’s beginnings a quarter century ago more than $268,000 has been awarded in classroom grants to help support a variety of reading, literacy, technology, arts and sciences programs. More than 1,245 Snohomish School District graduates have been awarded more than $813,000 in scholarships for vocation, two-year and four-year academic programs.
Scientists at the National Weather Service are predicting a Pacific Northwest winter that will be colder and wetter than normal. That prediction is based on sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which indicate that a strong La Nina phase has developed. On the average, October through December is expected to be both wetter and cooler than normal while January through March is forecast to be colder than normal.
So, what can you do? The Snohomish County Department of Emergency Management suggests that you should expect the worst and be prepared. Stock up on extra food, medicine and other high-demand consumables; keep gutters, drains and ditches free of leaves and debris; trim deadwood branches from trees and get yourself a good snow shovel.
