As we get back into the school year, here’s a great reminder from our partners at Washington State Patrol! 🚸📚
A new school year means more students, buses, and families sharing the roads. Let’s all slow down, stay alert, and do our part to help keep our kids safe as they head to and from school.
Thank you to WSP for helping our community stay safe! 💙

🧈 Week One of The Charlie Cart Pilot Project at Southside School🌿

Our students kicked off the class by learning how to make homemade butter with fresh herbs! Through this hands-on activity, kids discovered what their food is made of and how simple ingredients can be transformed into something delicious.

We’re helping students build confidence in the kitchen while showing them that fresh, simple recipes can be easy and fun to make themselves! 👩‍🍳

Having questions about vaccines is normal and we’re here to help! It is important that children and teens receive vaccinations on schedule so they can stay healthy, avoid serious illness, and keep learning. Vaccinations teach your children's immune systems to recognize and resist contagious disease. Getting vaccines on time is the best way to stay safe from diseases like the measles and whooping cough. Your health care provider is a great person to ask if you have any questions about your family’s health.

Together, state health officials from California, Washington, Oregon and Hawaii make up the West Coast Health Alliance. We’re working to keep vaccines available, easy to find and affordable for everyone.

Find a vaccine provider and learn more about vaccine recommendations for your entire family at https://doh.wa.gov/you-and-your-family/immunizations-and-vaccines
