Advanced Placement Statistics is not at all what I thought it would be and given that math is never my strongest skill, the presentation of a project by a group of Tahoma High students left me impressed, but also a little dizzy at the formulas.
I always thought the field next to Tahoma High School was just a horse pasture. Never would I have thought that there was an idea to have a park there for almost 10 years.

Social media use is a double-edged sword, at least in my experience.
In 1985, Dr. Gordon Klatt started the idea. The idea to help fund research for cancer. One of his main passions was to run marathons. He ran for a full 24 hours straight one time. Once he had accomplished this, more people started running and donating money for studying. Thus, Relay For Life was born.

Again the administration is trying to combine the Cedar Valley Support Center to become K-6 due to low enrollment. This is a disappointing decision to make for our students with special needs.
On June 4 we are doing a Giving Cash Mob. Not only will this give you a chance to learn more about each organization you will be able to contribute first hand.
Sitting in Starbucks and watching the world go by. It’s a people-watching smorgasbord second, in my opinion, only to people-watching at Disneyland.

With the rise of terrorist attacks, civilians became the targets rather than collateral damage.
During the next few months I would like to take time to introduce the community to our local businesses — who the owners are, what they want us to know about their business, why they came to our community, where they volunteer and how our community impacts their bottom line.
