Special Programs presents "Show me the money!"
Monday, December 1, 6-7:30 pm
RSC (1601 Ave. D; Snohomish)
Special Programs offers parent education meetings the "First Monday" of
every month. December's meeting will include an overview of what parents need to know about
wills and trusts, guardianship, social security, and DDD services for
persons with disabilities. "Show me the money" will introduce you to
everything financial of special interest to persons with disabilities and
their families, including a description of the lifetime planning that can
begin when your child is young.
Snohomish yearbooks singled out for praise
Snohomish yearbooks from the past two years have been featured in three
publications in the last month:
- Best of High School Press 14
(the Nat'l Journalism Education Assn's annual book),
- Communication: Journalism Education Today
(a quarterly national magazine), and
- Taylor Talk (a quarterly magazine put out by
the Taylor Publishing Company).
Any one of these three is such an honor for our students, yet to be
featured in three publications in one month is nothing less than
spectacular. Way to go!

Students Aid Cancer Research
What began as a fundraising project by Callie Buongiorno and friends grew
into a mission. Buongiorno, 16, is a junior at Glacier Peak High School and
a club member of the Future Business Leaders of America. Last summer, she
and her club discussed what the yearly fundraiser would be. They chose
raising money for breast cancer research, and the preparations began.....They have raised more than $2,000. The Herald
reported the story.
Snohomish Dads are Watch DOGS!
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads of Great Students) is a program that brings fathers and
father figures (uncles, grandfathers, etc.) into school to spend time with
their child, be a role model, volunteer, and serve as an "extra set of eyes"
on campus. Our first Watch DOGS program started at Little Cedars last
year. This year, Watch DOGS will be present at all ten Snohomish
elementary schools and several of our secondary schools.

One Snohomish, Two High Schools
New GPHS dubbed 'pretty rad',
The Herald, 9/4/08
This is the year that Snohomish becomes a 'two high school town.' The
high school student body formally split into two student bodies at an
assembly last June, and they chose the Marvin Gaye classic, "Ain't no
mountain high enough" as their theme song. The chorus to this song is:
Ain't no mountain high enough,ain't no valley low enough,
ain't no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you.
Our Mission: The Snohomish
School District, in its
commitment to excellence, places the success of each student at the center
of all decisions and actions. Partnerships and strong academic programs
ensure competent, responsible, lifelong learners.
