Graham and Conner Martin and their family work along side this agency so it has special meaning to our students.

March for Our Lives - March 24
Please read the following from our School Administrator Tim Visser:
On March 24, the March for Our Lives will begin at Cal Anderson Park and end at the Key Arena. I know some of our school families will be participating. I have been working in conjunction with lobbyists from the Washington Federation of Independent Schools and the Catholic Conference to have language in school safety legislation that includes private schools. Right now, there is nothing requiring first responders to notify private schools of events happening at state funded institutions like Shorecrest or Kellogg. There is funding being proposed for a student protecting student app that would allow students to anonymously report threats to state funded programs. Private schools are not included in the legislation. First responders have maps in their computers of state funded institutions so that they can quickly find classrooms, entrances and property accessibility. They have to look in a notebook in the trunk of their cars to retrieve the maps of our buildings. Long story short- private schools are being overlooked. I encourage your participation on the 24th. Our kids deserve the same level of protection afforded every other student in the state.
While our school community is not politically homogeneous, we state in our mission statement that we work in partnership with families and churches to challenge students to live as dynamic and transforming influences for the glory of God. Advocating for student safety and school safety by asking our representatives in the state and local government not to forget about private schools is certainly part of that mission.

High schoolers, middle schoolers, their parents and teachers are invited to join Mr. Bratt and Mr. Fox for a casual night of board, card, and dice games in the South Wing of the Secondary building. One disclaimer up front: this will be a no screen/no phone zone -- leave 'em at home or in the car.
Mad Dawgz Jr (the same great tasting dogs from a hot plate instead of a cart) and drinks will be available for a reasonable price.

An RSVP is always appreciated.
When: March 23rd, 7pm-10pm
Who: 6-12th graders and parents. Parental attendance is not required. Please, no siblings younger than 6th grade.
Why: Games are fun, to be together, and to turn off our screens!
