We hope you are all healthy and safe.
Last week was not only a continuation of learning to cope with our new "stay home, stay safe" lifestyles but also a crazy combination of weather. Most days saw a mixture of rain, clouds, hail, and sun, all sometimes within minutes!
We hope you were able to get out during the sunny times and get some much needed Vitamin D!
We've added a whole new list of Things To Try for this week and we hope you've been having fun giving these new skills a try.
We'd love to hear from you on new ideas to share with our community! Just click the link below the activities to share your idea.
You should have received an email regarding the new process for receiving free meals during the Covid-19 crisis.
Please check our link below for the most updated resources on where and when families in need can receive Grab and Go meals.
There has also been a recent update on curriculum expectations for the reminder of the year. Although the situation is very fluid, LWSD is currently working on moving forward with virtual remote learning classes to begin after Spring Break.
Please check this link for the most recent updates from the district.

2020 VISION SURVEY RESULTS
Thank you to the families who participated in our
2020 Vision survey
about future and current programs.
Survey results are available online for interested people. The top future community events were a live music concerts & campus beautification. For educational events families liked financial literacy and mental health the best. Coffee with the principal looks to be an evening option (as soon as we can have events at school again).
Congratulations to Robert C. who won the drawing. We greatly appreciate the feedback and will use it in planning for future events / improving our current programs.

RETHINK YARD CARE AND OUR FOODPRINT
Earth Day is April 22nd. RHS PTSA and Green Team and other student groups had plans to celebrate the 50th Anniversary in a big way. Since schools are closed and life has slowed down, this is an opportunity to share tips and information with RHS families with the focus on how we can RETHINK our impact on the world around us. With help from King County Solid Waste Division and Earthday.org, there are many ways that we can Take Action. Please be sure to read our Green Teams article on Reducing Carbon Footprint by rethinking the way we eat.
NATURAL YARD CARE:
The Spring season is here and many of us are thinking about reviving our lawns, flower beds and vegetable gardens. King County SWD provides 5 steps to natural yard care that save money and time, and protect our families’ health and the environment. Earth Day’s Take Action is to plant a pollinator garden to help sustain the planet’s ecosystem.
|
|
OUR FOODPRINT:
Visits to the grocery store may be limited at this time so here are tips on buying, storing and using food wisely. King County SWD shares ways to best store food in the fridge (Smart Prep); defines what “Best if Used-By” means (Smart Storage); and provides recipes for using up leftovers (Smart Saving). To find out your FoodPrint, check out Earth Day’s FoodPrints campaign and have your family take this Quiz.
