We’ve designed our district and school pages to be an informal, quick information source about our school district. We welcome participation and look forward to interacting with people through this channel. We want the experience to be as positive as possible for all of us. So here are some simple and, we think fair, guidelines for participation. We will delete personal attacks, inappropriate remarks or profanity on our page. Our pages are about the Snohomish School District or a particular district school, so let’s keep the conversation focused on that. Business plugs, personal issues, political banter all have a place on Facebook - just not on our particular pages. Avoid spamming. Posting the same or very similar comments repeatedly, flooding posts with excessive comments, or sharing unrelated links and promotional material is considered spam. Spam disrupts the conversation and may be hidden or removed to maintain a positive space for all users. Be involved. We welcome your feedback on our postings, and we hope you’ll comment when something grabs your attention. If you have ideas on what you’d like to see included on our page, we would love to hear from you. And we hope you will encourage others with a passion for education to find us and follow us here on Facebook. It’s best to contact principals, teachers, staff members or the school board privately. Our pages will share lots of information but won’t be equipped to forward messages to particular people.

Let's return to Valley View Middle School for the day where Brenda Weyhrauch, assistant principal, has a few fun facts to share!

• If your backpack could only hold three things for the school day, what would they be? My lap top, ink pen, and a notebook.

• What’s your go-to snack during a busy school day? Peanut butter

• What’s your favorite school event or tradition - and why? I love all of our musical events at VVMS - choir and band concerts.

• If you suddenly had a free hour during the school day, how would you spend it? in the life skills classroom.

• What’s something about you that students might be surprised to learn? I have taught in Germany and Belgium for the U.S. Department of Defense.

• What do you enjoy most about being an assistant principal at Valley View Middle School? At Valley View, what I LOVE the most are the incredible students who teach me something each and every day.

We're turning the page on another great book recommendation from one of our Snohomish School District librarians!

This time, we're visiting Centennial Middle School, where librarian Jenny Granger is sharing one of her personal favorites - The Amazing Generation: Your Guide to Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World by Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price.

The Amazing Generation: Your Guide to Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World by Jonathan Haidt and Catherine Price

• What makes this one of your favorite books to recommend to students? This book is a fantastic book to recommend to students and parents about current day issues facing teens. The research discusses the impact of social media and gaming on the still-developing brains of our children.

• What is the best thing about this book that you can tell us without giving away spoilers? The best thing about this book is that there are examples of teens that have decided to give up their time on social media and are forming friendships and the culture to have a life outside of their phones. They have figured out other ways to get the dopamine flood rather than quick moving online games and/or the fomo of social media.

• If you could have lunch with one character from this book, who would it be and why? I would love to have lunch with the authors of this book. I would like to discuss the research they used as well as the students they interviewed. I would love to be a fly on the wall if they were to interview those students five years later to see where they are at in creating a game-free and social media-free life.

• What kind of reader would love this book? Kids who enjoy reading nonfiction about current issues facing their generation would enjoy The Amazing Generation. The book offers suggestions and ideas on how to rethink their downtime without being condescending.

• Where is the book available? The Amazing Generation is available in our Snohomish School Libraries as well as in our online platform, Sora. The book is available through Sno-Isle Libraries and the eBook and audio book are available on Libby.

A little fall fun was cooking up at Glacier Peak High School (GPHS) last week! GPHS culinary students in the school’s Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) club recently hosted a hands-on cooking clinic for some aspiring young chefs from our elementary schools! With GPHS students serving as culinary instructors, these young chefs rolled up their sleeves, got creative in the kitchen and whipped up some delicious fall treats! Teacher Becky Harrelson is FCCLA club advisor.

A new flock of feathered friends has landed at Centennial Middle School!

Students in teacher Jody Cain’s art class have been busy turning recycled cardboard, paper mâché, paint and other found materials into some pretty amazing bird sculptures!

Some birds are inspired by real species, while others come straight from the students’ imaginations. Each has its own name, personality and unique details. Along the way, students experimented with different materials and techniques to add texture and bring their creations to life.

The finished birds are now on display in the school library for students and families to enjoy during conference week. Great work, artists!

Let’s take a peek beyond the principal’s office at Dutch Hill Elementary and get to know Cory Taylor! He’s sharing some fun facts, favorite things and a bit more about himself!

• If your backpack could only hold three things for the school day, what would they be? My laptop, Diet Dr. Pepper, and a walkie talkie. With those three things, I can probably survive just about anything an elementary school day throws at me.

• What’s your go-to snack during a busy school day? Diet Dr. Pepper and two bites of a protein bar. I usually find the other two bites about three hours later.

• What’s your favorite school event or tradition and why? One of my favorites is recognizing our students as High Flying Hawks. I love recognizing kids who go the extra mile, make great choices, help others, and become role models for their classmates. Plus, it is one of the times students are excited to get called to see the principal.

• If you suddenly had a free hour during the school day, how would you spend it? I’d head outside and play basketball with students at recess. I have to take advantage of these years while I can still convince elementary students that I’m pretty good.

• What’s something about you that students might be surprised to learn? I once climbed Mt. Baker in 24 hours.

• What do you enjoy most about being a principal at Dutch Hill Elementary? The kids. Where else can you walk down the hallway and get a high five, hear an incredibly long story with no ending, settle a disagreement about whose turn it was, get challenged to a basketball game, and be handed a slightly crumpled drawing that instantly becomes office artwork? Elementary school is never boring, and that is one of the things I love most about it.

Creativity is blooming at Snohomish High School! Students in teacher Latona Minish’s crafts classes have been busy turning colorful pipe cleaners into beautiful, handcrafted one-of-a-kind blooms. Who knew pipe cleaners could look so blooming beautiful?

Costumes, games, and, a cake walk made for a festive fall harvest party at the Snohomish School District Transition Center!

Students took the lead in planning the annual celebration. They worked within a budget, shopped for groceries, prepared snacks, and organized party games for their fellow students. The event was a fun way to practice important life skills, including budgeting, planning, social interaction and leisure activities.

The Transition Center serves students ages 18–22 with special needs, helping them prepare for life after high school by building the academic, employment and daily living skills needed for greater independence in adulthood.

Learn more about the Transition Center at www.sno.wednet.edu/transitioncenter.

What's cooking at Dutch Hill Elementary? Behind every school meal is a dedicated kitchen team to help keep our students fueled and ready to learn! Today, we're stepping into the kitchen to meet kitchen lead Nadya Barboza!

• What is one of your favorite meals to prepare or serve to students at school? My favorite meal to prep would have to be pizza! I love the whole process and it’s also the kids’ favorite!

• What’s something we would almost always find in your refrigerator or pantry? The one item we have in our fridge and pantry would be ketchup and apple slices - kids love them.

• What’s one food you think everyone should try at least once? One food I think everyone should try would be sushi because it offers such unique combination of flavors and presentation.

• What’s one kitchen tool or utensil you couldn’t live without - and why? One tool you’ll see me with would be a thermometer. It’s an important tool used daily in our kitchen, making sure food is cooked to the proper temperature.

• What do you enjoy most about being part of your school’s kitchen team? One thing I enjoy about working with my team is how well we balance each other out. We’re supportive and always willing to help one another.
