Tony Ryan finds patience, forgiveness and a second chance A nearly unnoticeable bump on his ring finger led to a chase to the wire for his life

t started simple.

He was spending time with friends at Seabrook when he first noticed it. Next he was working in his garage on a project, “doing something” – and he tried to get his wedding ring off. It wouldn’t come off.

The wedding ring threw open a door for Enumclaw Police Sgt. Tony Ryan that brought him face-to-face with death, months of unbearable pain and a second chance.

In less than a year Ryan saw the worst of fortune turn into the best of fate.

It was February 2014 when Ryan noticed a tiny bump on his ring finger. He happened to show it to a nurse from Franciscan who suggested he have a doctor take a look at it – just in case.

The physician told him it was a cyst and likely would go away without incident… in time.

Chinook, Cayuse passes closed for winter

By Kevin Hanson Senior Writer

Temporary closures became permanent last week for both Chinook and Cayuse passes.

Citing hazardous conditions, the state’s Department of Transportation closed both passes – traveled by state routes 410 and 123, respectively – on Nov. 16.

On Nov. 24, DOT maintenance crews buttoned up the passes for the winter.

The state agency had determined the avalanche risk was too great to allow traffic to safely cross Chinook Pass and Cayuse Pass. In addition, the National Park Service had expressed concern about debris and rocks falling onto the highway due to a lack of snowpack from last season’s unusually dry

Mayor, council reach common budget ground City of Enumclaw prepared to adopt budget on Dec. 14

Heavy snowfall in November closed Chinook and Cayuse passes for the winter. 2014 WSDOT file photo conditions. Snowpack helps keep debris and rock from loosening and moving.

The DOT closed SR 410 between Crystal Mountain Boulevard, about 12 miles northwest of the summit, and Morse Creek, five miles east of the summit. Cayuse Pass is closed within Mount Rainier National Park from Crystal Mountain Boulevard to Stevens

Canyon Road.

Chinook Pass sits at an elevation of 5,430 feet and Cayuse is at 4,675 feet.

Chinook Pass provides a route from the west side of the state – running directly through Bonney Lake, Buckley and Enumclaw – to the Yakima Valley. Cayuse Pass connects to Chinook

Everything from f lower baskets to social services was fair game last week, as members of the Enumclaw City Council debated spending plans for the coming year.

The council gathered Nov. 23 for its next-tolast meeting of 2015, taking the opportunity to add money in some places and employ the budgetary ax in other areas. The starting point was a proposed munici-

pal budget that factored in requests by department heads, projected revenue streams and the desires of city administration.

Everything is still a proposal at this point, but the fiscal screws are being tightened.

The council anticipates adopting a 2016 budget when it next meets on Dec. 14.

Before weighing in with their personal budget desires Nov. 23, council members heard from the public.

Judi Puttman made a case for the city’s annual program that places hanging f lower baskets

Fatal two-car collision kills Buckley WSU student

A 20-year-old Buckley woman died the afternoon of Nov. 22, the result of a two-vehicle collision in Eastern Washington.

Morgan K. Cope graduated in 2014 from White River High School and was a student at Washington State University. According to a Washington State Patrol report, she died at the scene of the crash, about 16 miles west of the Whitman County town of Colfax.

The WSP report said

www.courierherald.com

Cope was headed west on state Route 26, driving a 2001 Toyota Camry, when another vehicle crossed the centerline, causing the head-on accident. The incident occurred shortly before 2 p.m.

The other vehicle, a Toyota pickup, was driven by 18-year-old Jason Wigen, from the tiny community of La Crosse. He was airlifted to Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane.

Sweet yeast rolls (makes 12 large rolls)

Ingredients

1 cup hot water 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1/3 cup chickpea water, whipped until it’s mostly foam 3 tablespoons melted vegan margarine (smart balance is a good choice) 3 tablespoons organic cane sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra

V

Add hot water and whipped chickpea water to a large bowl. Cool until about 110 degrees (or bath water temp).

Add yeast and stir for 10 seconds.

Set aside to allow yeast to proof. It’s done when the yeast rises to the top of the water level. It will probably happen all at once.

Add melted butter, sugar and salt.

Stir for a few seconds.

Add 2-1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup at a time.

Once fully combined, cover and let rise until doubled (about 40 minutes).

Prep the baking sheet

Lay a sheet of foil on a large baking sheet, shiny side down.

Using a paper towel, cover the foil is a light oil like canola.

Once dough has risen, kneed on a counter with extra flour. This is going to get messy, dough will be wet.

Preheat oven to 200 degrees (you will increase heat later).

Form dough into 12 equal sections, rolling slightly into a ball.

Spread rolls on the baking sheet. Keep in mind they will double in size.

Cover the rolls, let rise until

doubled. Keep them on top of the warm oven to help them rise faster.

Once they are nearly double in size, increase oven heat to 350.

Bake rolls for 12-15 minutes.

They will spread. You can cut them apart once they are cooled slightly with a pastry cutter.

Take rolls out of the oven just before they start to brown.

You can brush some melted vegan butter on top to prevent the tops from getting hard.

Let cool, cut apart and serve immediately.

www.courierherald.com mise on both sides while matching planned expenditures with anticipated revenues.

“It’s about finding common ground,” Reynolds said.

First turning to the earlier-discussed f lower basket program, Reynolds reminded that the proposed 2016 budget has no allocation for downtown decorations. Eventually, that’s the way the council vote went. Several members noted their belief that volunteers had said they would come up with money to entirely fund the program, which carries a price tag of about $12,000 annually.

“It’s a good opportunity for them to come out and support the community,” LaFleur said.

Clearly a hot-button issue is the city’s habit of offering dollars-andcents support to Plateau Outreach Ministries, a nonprofit organization that helps people in financial need. Aside from operating a food bank that provides meals to hungry children and adults, POM provides assistance for those needing help with things like rent and utility payments.

To an ever-increasing extent, POM also serves as a central location for social services offered by other agencies.

Counci lma n Mi ke Sando proposed that the city give $15,000 for utility vouchers that would be channeled through POM. That, it turn, prompted a council discussion over the role of municipal government and the doling out of taxpayer dollars.

“I can’t get behind using taxpayer money to fund an outside agency,” LaFleur said. Such a cash contribution, he said, means citizens are essentially being forced to donate to POM rather than giving willingly.

Councilwoman Juanita Carstens agreed, noting that she loves what POM accomplishes, but doesn’t support the notion of a seven-member council determining what all city residents will financially support.

Councilman Morgan Irwin said he’s convinced the people of Enumclaw support the work done by the staff and volunteers at POM. In lending financial support, he said, “we’re doing something that follows the voice of the people.”

In a close vote, POM will receive the $15,000

allocation for utility vouchers due to the votes of Sando, Irwin, Hoke Overland, Jim Hogan and Darrel Dickson.

Following other budget discussions, each originating with a LeFleur motion, the council agreed to: • Reduce the funding identified for the downtown feasibility study to $20,000; originally, the budget had a $30,000 allocation. Also reduced was the entire $47,000 earmarked for a feasibility study of a downtown park.

• Eliminate $16,900 from the proposed budget that would have increased an employee at the Enumclaw Senior Center to full-time status; the position is now funded, and will remain, at a .75 status.

• Eliminate the $10,000 penciled in for Green River’s small-business experts. While Dickson argued that supporting local business would pay financial dividends, others noted that GRCC’s services will still be available, just requiring a trip to Auburn.

• Drop the city funding for its Youth Center from $70,000 to $60,000.

It was noted the new figure still ref lects a $15,000 increase over the 2015 funding level; Irwin added that the city also provides a rent subsidy to the organization.

• Amend the proposed budget to include an across-t he-boa rd increase in fees charged to those using recreation programs. The 3 percent hike is estimated to generate an additional $4,000 annually.

• Amend the budget to take $6,000 from the Schlotfeldt Library Endowment Fund, giving the money to the Enumclaw Historica l Societ y for capita l improvements.

In another move impacting residents’ pocketbooks, the council showed initial support for a move that would increase sewer rates by 3 percent beginning with the new year. The move was prompted both by general inf lation and the preference for several small rate hikes, thus avoiding a large increase down the road.

City Administrator Chris Searcy said some big projects are in the sewer utility’s future.

“It was like a miracle,” Ryan said. “It was such an emotional experience.”

He was able to return to the force within a few months, and he had complete use of his hands.

There has been no sign of cancer since.

“The totality of the entire event made me understand patience and forgiveness,” he said. “One thing I’ve learned is tough days come and go. Take them for what

they are worth. And it is OK to be vulnerable.”

Ryan said the fast-growing sarcoma made him grow – quickly.

“It is a second chance,” he said. “I got a second chance.”

Pass and White Pass on the east side of Mount Rainier National Park. The Cayuse Pass summit is at the junction of SR 123 and 410, about five miles west of the Chinook Pass summit.

WSDOT typically closes Chinook and Cayuse passes in late November due to hazardous driving conditions, avalanche danger, mountainous terrain and lack of cell phone service, all of which combine to make for unsafe winter driving.

The earliest Chinook closure on record came on Oct. 25, 2005; for Cayuse, the earliest closure came on Oct. 31, 1994.

Spring openings are largely at the discretion of Mother Nature, with a boost from DOT snowplow crews.

Chinook is typically opened in May, although 2015 brought an unusual April 2 opening. The latest Chinook opening came in 1974, when motorists were off-limits until July 12.

“they kept my head on straight.”

But the days were bad, very bad, and the pain excruciating and overwhelming.

It happened when he reached his lowest. He had come to the crossroads and he knew it. It was that day when a friend came – Pastor Marcus Kelly.

“Marcus just appeared,” Ryan said. “His involvement became so important in my life. He walked me down the path I needed to go. I was never very spiritual, I never understood it until Marcus, until I started to believe. God’s grace is that amazing.”

The surgeries were set for August 2014. The chances of success were not good.

The time had come for Ryan to prepare for his fate.

“Marcus and I prayed together,” Ryan said. “He baptized me.”

After three surgeries the sarcoma was stopped.

Suddenly he was free from the grip of cancer; it was

Ryan is big man – 6 feet, 5 inches tall, 250 pounds. At 37 he could pass as a pro linebacker.

He’s been on the Enumclaw police force for 11 years. Up to that day in February he had seen and experienced his share of problems like any young man, but Ryan was about to get a crash course in the upside-down meaning of life.

In two months the tiny bump grew down to his fingernail. Ryan was sent to a hand specialist. A biopsy was sent to an Oregon lab. The pathology report came back that it could be sarcoma – cancer.

In the timeline of a few months Ryan lost all function in his fingers, as if his hand was frozen. Following “MRI after MRI” the physician found a mass growing in Ryan’s left wrist. By June the cancer was found in both his left and right wrists.

“The first thing they asked was, ‘Are your affairs in order?’,” Ryan said. “The surgery was a cakewalk compared to what they said that day.”

Seven months after noticing a bump on his ring finger, the hand surgeon decided to operate on both his left and right hands in an effort to save Ryan’s life.

For a cop and a very active young man, Ryan was stopped in his tracks.

“You might as well of cut

my legs off,” he said.

Prior to the surgery Ryan said the pain was the “worst I’ve ever experienced; it was endless. It felt like my arm was in boiling water. On a good night I got an hour of sleep.”

When he did get to sleep, he woke up to “pain that put me on my knees.”

Ryan is a cop. He is used to fixing problems and not losing a fight. He doesn’t take pain medication, but this was no car chase, burglary or bar fight. He was staring straight at an aggressive sarcoma that day-by-day was corkscrewing into his tendon sheets heading for his bones, and his life.

“The hardest part was watching my family, my wife and two girls,” he said. “They were devastated.”

His wife, Kari, and two daughters, Jessica and Allie, walked with him through his crucible.

“Lori wouldn’t let me have a bad day,” he said.

Friends came and helped with work at his house and

the continual unspoken thoughts circling the brain. Self-talk can result from logical reasoning or even misconceptions, but if you can keep them mostly positive, you’ll push yourself to be an optimist.

Rewire your brain to be mostly positive thinking, and practice positive selftalk. Don’t say anything to yourself you wouldn’t say to another. Encourage yourself to move forward, and if negative thoughts surface, think rationally and focus on what is good about the situation.

Determine positive triggers for yourself and start every day with one, like looking out a window and thinking of a blessing in your life. Simple, but it can work. Purposely expand the experience of a positive emotion. Stop and smell the roses has stop, and it should be more than just an instant.

Why not a minute? When coming upon a positive experience – a child zealously playing, a particularly pretty scene – push yourself for extra time to savor it. Let yourself be humored, and allow more laughter in your life. With specific intention teach yourself to enjoy life more, every day. Life is too short not to.

Consciously add three smiles and 15 minutes of fun activity to your day.

Think of a meaningful experience, and for two minutes write down every detail you can remember.

Develop deep connections with other positively minded individu-

als. Believe and feel life is meaningful, and what you are doing is making a difference. When you find yourself in difficult circumstances, look for positivity in the moment.

It helps immensely in getting through it.

Some studies show personality traits like optimism and pessimism affect many areas of health and well-being.

Positive thinking typically coming with optimism is a key part of effective stress management, associated with many health benefits.

Creating positive experiences may provide better coping skills to deal in more constructive ways with hardships, can lower rates of depression and distress, may reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, and even perhaps increase life span.

Does this sound worth it to you?

The process is simple, but the key is doing it every day. Force yourself to be more positive, even just a little bit, every day for the month of December. Small steps, taken daily, compounding over time and intensifying with practice achieve the greatest rewards. The brain turns repeated patterns into automatic behaviors. One of the surest ways to build a habit is to be accountable to another, so include friends by sharing your experience. Acknowledge when you have turned a negative into a positive

figured if dogs scared him, guns were probably terrifying. So, instead I responded, “No. You should have seen him wrestle it to the ground!” His eyes got as big as saucers (more like clay pigeons, but he wouldn’t know what those were either), so I suggested we head to the game.

By the way, he was also afraid of heights. I learned that on the 300 level of the Kingdome.

I took this opportunity to enlighten him about the public education I received at the Enumclaw School District. I may have embellished a little when I told him our science curriculum included learning how to pull calves with a come-along winch, and that we learned to cook Rocky Mountain oysters in home economics.

Inflexible nationalism and beliefs a danger World War II era German theologian Paul Althaus noted, “We Lutherans see Hitler as a gift and a miracle from God.” Why did most German Lutherans follow Hitler and not pastors like Dietrich Bonheoffer? And why did many Jewish Christians disastrously turn away from their Christian beliefs and follow Jewish nationalism in their rebellion against Roman rule between 66-73 AD? These are questions raised in my mind when I recently listened to retired PLU history Professor Robert Ericksen speak about Martin Luther’s inf luence on Hitler’s Germany.

The Richard Elfers answer for both Columnist seems to lie in the enduring but baffling human tendency to think in black-and-white terms.

Professor Ericksen gave a fascinating account of how many Germans were enraged over the losses during what is now called World War I. The vengeful, greedy and stupid British, French, and Italian diplomats had punished Germany during the Versailles Peace talks that ended World War I and set the stage for World War II a generation later.

Germany had lost their leader, Kaiser Wilhelm, their army and navy, their African colonies, and part of their territory to Poland and France. They were forced to pay billions of dollars in reparations to France and Britain, and worst of all, they were forced to create a weak new democratic government called the Weimar Republic

Glad to have moved to Columnist doesn’t get beautiful Enumclaw conservative position I’m relatively new to Enumclaw, moving here a few years ago to care for my elderly parents.

However, I am continually overwhelmed by this unique and beautiful community.

Several months ago I came across a project called SoHaPP, launched by the LINCCK task force of the Rainier Foothills Wellness Foundation. What a wonderful project this is and an amazing town to embrace such an effort. It is so uplifting to read the expressions of gratitude on the various boards around town.

Check out the city buildings, walk Cole Street or see other businesses around town, and they’re even at the library and GRCC. It is truly great there are groups in town wanting to build up and support every member of the community instead of just focusing on problems and try forward thinking. I’m so glad I moved here!

The nursery rhyme that opines that boys are made from snails and puppy dogs tails and girls from sugar and spice is cute. However it is nonsensical because its premise is not based on reality. I was reminded of this nursery rhyme while reading “Human nature is a balancing act,” a column by Rich Elfers (Courier-Herald, Nov. 4).

His column is also nonsensical. However, it is not cute. It is alarming. Like the nursery rhyme, his premise is not based on reality. His position that he and Democrats can perfect humanity is fallacious, self-serving and arrogant.

He touts the excellence and success of the Google management philosophy, then rambles and subtly congratulates himself for having taught high school for 40 years with the same philosophical style. He offers a twopart unsubstantiated theorem.

Republicans, being conservative, view human nature negatively and

that discipline, order and respect are only accomplished through punishment. Democrats, liberals or secular progressives, hope in the perfectibility of human beings through education to train, discipline and perfect the human mind to higher levels of proper behavior. Remember, he says he took advantage of this inane premise for 40 years while teaching our children.

Certainly he does not know or understand the conservative position. Does he really think that he and other Democrats have the key to perfecting humanity? It is highly presumptive and arrogant to think that you know how to and can in fact perfect your fellow man. Hubris is too mild a description of this attitude. This disturbing attitude is, however, the Democrat, liberal, elitist mindset.

I consider myself a conservative and identify as Republican. My personal belief is that God has the key to training and loving discipline for each of us and through Jesus, perfection of the human condition.

Late one afternoon, past our service hours, Susan (identity protected) came in looking for our case manager. Not knowing what she wanted, we began telling her our service hours and when case management would be open. Nearly in tears, she said “I just wanted to tell her thank you.” Then the tears really started, followed by hugs. “You gave me so much more than I expected.” She had come directly from the dentist and was still numb. She did not mean just the voucher to help pay for the dental work she desperately needed.

(We had helped her pool her own resources and helped with the balance to make her dental procedure possible.) Susan also meant she had no idea how bad it was. She had been in so much pain, she wasn’t able to do much of anything. She was so grateful to have the tooth repaired and the pain gone, it was life changing.

The next time she stopped by was to tell us about a new job!

Yesterday I was sitting at my desk and a woman poked her head in to say thank you. “You don’t even know how much you’ve done for me. I was in a really hard spot in my life. I had no family support and you were here for me. Not just the help

back on my feet, but you are all so friendly. I knew I could come here for a smile.” She is gaining stability and wanted us to know the role POM had played for her.

Josh (identity protected) stopped by one day to check in. The first time we saw him was about six weeks earlier. He was homeless and camping in the woods. In our first visit we learned that Josh was a veteran.

In trying to help him with the best resources, we called our VFW volunteer. He helped Josh with military paperwork and helped connect him to needed medical resources. This day, Josh looked different—not just healthier, but happy, definitely beaming! He stopped by to tell us that he got a job. He was so excited. It was so fun to listen to him explain what his job would be. “It’s full time.

It’s year ‘round. And it comes with a house!” It wasn’t just the news he shared that was exciting, it was his pride and enthusiasm in how he told the story. He also shared that it was because of POM; because we cared and helped him when he was really down. We helped him with his “next steps” and we gave him a chance.

It would be easy to end the story here, but my heart was filled beyond Josh’s accomplishments.

My mind went to the community member, the business owner, who gave Josh a chance. A kind person who saw the potential in someone who had come onto hard times. This new employer saw someone who was working to get back on track and someone who was capable of doing a job that needed to be done. This was not a hand-out, but a hand-up. POM is thankful to be here with basic support of food, clothing and resources, but just as important was listening to Josh’s story and believing in Josh himself.

What are you thankful for? We are thankful for you, who make it possible for POM to help our neighbors in need.

It is the season of reflection and calling to mind all that we are thankful for. I know a tradition for many families includes going around the Thanksgiving dinner table with each one sharing what they are thankful for. Here at Plateau Outreach Ministries, we are thankful for so much: thankful for our incredible volunteers, for the donations that keep our pantry and thrift store stocked, donations that allow us to help neighbors with their utility bill or rent, and for the support of our community.

which was unable to deal with the many financial and social problems created by the end of the war.

Germans justifiably felt they had been “”stabbed in the back” by the Allies at Versailles.

Following Hitler was a radical response to the anger and the wrongs engendered from Versailles.

Most German Lutherans were conservative and patriotic, according to Ericksen. The Protestant regions of Germany were more pro-Hitler than were the Catholic areas. Most Germans saw loyalty to their country and to God as the same thing.

Jewish Christians were shocked and confused by the martyrdom in 61 AD of their strict and righteous bishop, James the Just, half brother of Jesus, at the hands of a Jewish Jerusalem mob. Many had lost faith that Jesus would return in their lifetimes, according to Professor Ernest L. Martin in his fascinating book, “Restoring the Original Bible.”

During this time thousands of these Jewish Christians turned away from Christianity and toward Jewish nationalism.

They rose up in rebellion against Roman rule in 66 AD and, like the German Lutherans at the end of World War II were mercilessly crushed and defeated. Thousands died and

their temple and city were destroyed in 70 AD. Most of the surviving Jews were sold into slavery and exile throughout the Roman Empire. The Jewish nation of Israel was no more, and would not return until the end of World War II with the creation of the State of Israel in 1948.

What do these nationalist movements have in common? Both were made up of people who could only see the world in black-andwhite terms. There was no middle ground for either group.

The German Lutherans were used to the state doing their thinking for them. So too, were the Palestinian Jews whose thinking was ensnared in their strict orthodoxy. Neither had developed the ability to examine their thoughts and feelings rationally.

Neither could separate love of their nation from belief in their God. The freedom of choice offered by the Weimar Republic confused and frightened German Lutherans. So, too, for Jewish Christians, the security of their beliefs died with the martyrdom of James the Just and the “Great Disappointment” of Christ not returning in their lifetimes.

What lessons can we of the 21st century learn from these nationalistic movements? The answer is that we must leave the immature black-and-white thinking that is common with teens and become mature, being able to live between

Thanksgiving in my heart and I conclude, very clearly, that I have no excuse for not being thankful.

The first Dale Pratt T ha n k sg iv i ng was Cedar Community Church dinner celebrated by about half of the original pilgrims, because the other half had died that first year, and yet they found gratitude in their hearts for the goodness of their Almighty God. And when President Lincoln initiated a national celebration, we were about half-way through the war to end disunity in our country that would leave around a million people dead, countless others wounded and scarred for life, and an unbelievable devastation to property and resources – and yet, our president called for a heart of gratitude to our gracious Heavenly Father for his goodness to us.

My heavenly father has been good to me! I can always complain about something, because there’s always something to complain about. You see, life is not perfect and stuff happens that I don’t like. I was talking to God just the other day about how I would prefer if some events and situations in my life were different.

Different by my standards! I don’t want pain and lack of good health in my own life and I don’t want it for

my friends and family, either. And I don’t like it when relationships aren’t going well – I don’t like emotional pain any more than I like physical pain; I’m just allergic to pain in any form! Yet pain doesn’t leave for long, and we regularly pray, as a church family, on Sunday mornings, for God’s gracious intervention in the painful situations, as we also offer heartfelt thanks for the goodness we are all enjoying.

I’m not a great bronc buster, but I’ve saddled up a green colt a few times. I never wanted a horse to buck, but I know it’s always a possibility. Oh, that moment when you stick your toe in the stirrup for the first time, swing a leg over, settle into the saddle and feel for the other stirrup; sometimes you have to just let ‘er buck and ride it out and do your best to stay on top. And when you find yourself sprawling in the dust of a coral, with that smell and taste only known to those who’ve been bucked off a time or two, you know you’ve gotta get back up and get back on. Then, when everything settles out and you’ve got a good ride under you, you can tip your hat back, smile, ride out of the coral and be really, really thankful!

You caught me on a good day.

I’m really, really thankful! It’s still Thanksgiving in my heart!

I’m on a mindwalk today … again … the subject is goodness … which has led me to being thankful …

Last week we celebrated the 394th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving meal shared at the Plymouth Plantation in Massachusetts in the fall of 1621.

The first “official” Thanksgiving was proclaimed two years later, by then-Governor William Bradford.

President Abraham Lincoln initiated the federal holiday in 1863, proclaiming that we need a day of “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens” (Wikipedia entry on Thanksgiving – United States).

So here we are. And I’m thankful.

I spent time with family, squeezed the babies, ate several totally wonderful meals, slept a lot, watched a little football and I did not have to fear for my life at any juncture.

When I read about the life of the early settlers and that first thanksgiving day, and the conditions in our country when President Lincoln called for an official day of thanksgiving, smack in the middle of the Civil War, and I hear, on a daily basis, the struggles around our present world … I reexamine life on the Plateau and around the Puget Sound

MESSAGE FROM JANEL AND MIKE

WRHS CHOIR RETREAT

by Keeley Brochu, student

We are proud and excited to share the White River High School Class of 2015 had an on-time graduation rate of 92.5 percent – the highest in school history!

This is really a system celebration, as we know graduation starts in kindergarten. We believe this 92.5 on-time graduation rate represents all the changes we’ve made in our system and how our teachers work together to improve learning for kids. If you think about it, and we do, we closed our alternative program, moved those kids back to the high school and we have more kids graduating. That’s a testament to our staff, our system, our parents and our community.

We congratulate and celebrate all of our graduates for their effort and accomplishment. We know a high school diploma is not the end of a student’s educational journey, but it is critical in preparing for a successful future. Each year is a step forward and acknowledgement we are headed in the right direction. The extended graduation rate for the Class of 2014 was 91.8 percent, which is also a testament to the hard work and dedication of those students who persevered and accomplished their goal.

We celebrate because our graduation rate is significant, compared to the State of Washington on-time rate of 77.2 percent for the graduating Class of 2014. The national graduation rate for the Class of 2014 is 80 percent. In educational terms, that’s an A, but more importantly it means we are sending more kids out into the world educated and prepared.

In the beginning of November, the White River High School Chamber Choir headed up to the Sunset Lake Camp in Wilkeson for a couple of days of group bonding and worked on their choral skills. Clinician Dinah Helgeson came, taught, and inspired the students with different ways to warm up and helped them find their true vocal ranges. The choir was also introduced to what a 21st Century choral classroom looks like and learned that it includes collaborating, critical thinking, and communication.

Our motivational speaker was Sheila Smith, former Mrs. Washington. We were inspired about making short and long-term goals. The retreat was a great time to bond and get to know other choir members. Lots of the students think of this choir as a second family because of the bonding that takes place. Last year the choir went to Idaho to compete in the Music in the Parks competition. They won first place in their division and overall. The choir attributes much of their success to the closeness gains at their annual retreat. They are hoping to have a repeat of last year’s success.

We are grateful, but we also know it’s not magic. It’s hard work that takes place between the time those enthusiastic little learners walk into their elementary school classroom until those young adults turn those tassels 13 years later.

As we mentioned earlier, in White River, the support for creating successful students begins in kindergarten. Our graduation rate is a reflection of the work of our entire system to support our students. We appreciate that our staff truly believes these are all of our kids and does everything possible to ensure learning and provide opportunities for success for our students. We are reminded each day what a true gift it is to work in the White River School District and our graduation rate is one data point that is a celebration for our entire system.

Each grade level takes great pride in their support for student success and providing the skills necessary for students to reach high levels of learning. We are proud of our middle school to high school transition program that includes both students and parents to support the critical academic, social and emotional transition from eighth to ninth grade. Once kids enter White River High School, they are supported by caring and committed teachers, counselors and staff who strive to ensure that all kids have the support and guidance they need to graduate and attend college or be career ready.

Bond Information Update GLACIER MIDDLE SCHOOL BOND FOCUS

White River Pride Runs Deep

Glacier Middle School is currently using a mixture of permanent and portable buildings that were added in phases over the course of many years, from 1957 into the ‘80s. They were constructed as a high school, but in 2003, with the completion of the current high school campus, middle school students moved in. About 40% of the classroom space at Glacier is in portable buildings that have seen better days. The school’s plumbing, electrical and heating systems are approaching the end of their useful life. In fact, the bond would include classroom space for a projected increase in enrollment, and renovations throughout the campus.

The dreaming has begun in earnest, and the vision of what might be for our middle level learners is starting to take shape. Contemporary education strives to prepare students with skills to do jobs we cannot even yet imagine!

Future careers will likely depend on collaboration, creativity and technology.

Appropriate space for this kind of learning will help prepare our students for many years to come.

BUILDING A SYSTEM OF SUPPORT AT GLACIER MIDDLE SCHOOL “Managing behavior is an essential component of effective teaching practices.

For every instructional decision, it’s paired with a behavior management decision.”” ~ Anita Archer The 2014-2015 school year brought great opportunities for the Glacier Middle School (GMS) team to build a clear and shared vision. In addition to many new teachers, the entire leadership team was new. We took this opportunity to recruit new teacher-leaders for the Positive Behavior Intervention and support (PBIS) team. They consistently built great rapport with students while maintaining high expectations.

These teacher leaders, along with a counselor and administrative team began by building their vision together through team training in the summer and applying this to our work throughout the year.

We began the year by discussing the type of school that we want for our own kids. With commitments from all staff members they focused on the characteristics of honesty, acceptance, patience, compassion, understanding, and “having a ‘spotter’ to support someone taking risks.”

As a result, we created a school-wide system to recognize students for the good behavior expected of them. Students are recognized in many ways clear verbal and tangible feedback, and rewarding them with Grizzly Bucks, school currency that they can use at the student store or purchase classroom privileges, or with Grizzly Tracks when they demonstrate great examples of expected behavior. Students who earn a track are publicly celebrated each Friday during lunch. We do not leave the recognition to chance.

One year later, we have had an opportunity to analyze our current data in comparison to the 2014-2015 school year, we have seen a dramatic decline in problem behaviors. In one year, we found a decrease in referrals of nearly 66%. This is amazing! The intentional work of our GMS teams to develop consistent classroom procedures and routines was successful. The trend has continued so far this year. We are proud of our staff and students. It is a great year to be a Glacier Grizzly!

THIRD GRADERS ATTEND THE THEATER All third grade students in the district were treated last month to a very special field trip to Seattle. Thanks to support from the White River Education Foundation, the students, along with teachers and chaperones, attended a performance of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at the Seattle Children’s Theatre. This theatre provides a professional cultural experience designed for young audiences. Here’s what some of our students had to say: • “Thank you for allowing us to go on the field trip. I absolutely loved the part when the plane flew overhead on its little string. I was amazed that the actors made the play look so real. I thought everything looked very well done.” - Shaylee • “Thank you for the money for the tickets, so we could go to the Children’s Theater. I really appreciate it. It was amazing. It was the best time of my life.” Sophia • “Thank you for letting all of White River watch Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. It was awesome. When I got the sheet for the field trip, I was ecstatic.” - Dakota

• “When I was on the bus on the way there, I felt nervous and excited. But I loved it. You guys did great. I loved what you did and all of you.” - Kailee The WR Education Foundation also generously funds scholarships, the fee for all sophomores to take the PSAT, student involvement in Junior Achievement Biztown and Financial Park, as well as many other learning enhancements.

A FORCE FOR GOOD IN OUR COMMUNITY Schools all over White River are busy mounting efforts to give back to their community this season.

Here’s a sampling: Elk Ridge Elementary assembles a giving tree each year. In partnership with The Summit in Enumclaw, Elk Ridge students donate toys and coats, and the program expands in a way that is more than they can do on their own. Families are able to choose two gifts for each child, the gifts are then wrapped, and they go home with a turkey and the fixings for a holiday dinner.

WRHS launches the Winter Wishes program in December. The leadership class organizes the effort that strives to grant wishes for other students.

Donations from staff, businesses, and other sources are solicited to grant student’s wishes, big and small.

At an assembly prior to winter break, the wishes are announced and gifts are distributed. As an added bonus, WRHS staff members organize a turkey giveaway and send them home with randomly selected student families.

Wilkeson Elementary staff and parents provided Thanksgiving meals to families and also conducts a clothing and toy drive for the community’s benefit.

Mountain Meadow Elementary has maintained the tradition of a Thanksgiving Turkey Drive in November, to include all the fixings for a holiday meal for 25 families. In December, a Giving Tree is decorated with tags representing the needs and wishes of anonymous families in need. Last year almost 40 students had a happier holiday, thanks to the generosity of the Mountain Meadow community.

Foothills Elementary participates in a community effort by supporting the Buckley Fire Department and Bonney Lake Police Department programs.

They collect and provide gifts for these entities so that access is centralized to the community.

Glacier’s Builders Club will help out this year at the Prairie Ridge Community Center, leading craft activities during a holiday event. Later in December, they will decorate and fill goodie bags for the Kiwanis Community Christmas party. The students will again lead games and craft activities so parents can secretly select gifts.

District administration office employees gather personal hygiene items to help stock the supply cabinet for the school social worker to utilize as needed. In addition, each year they adopt one or two school district families and fill their Christmas wish lists.

Enumclaw & White River High School Previews www.courierherald.com White River High School Players who climbed high on White River’s career scoring lists have departed, leaving holes to fill as Hornet coaches Chris Gibson and Rick Tripp prepare for the coming basketball season.

Gone from the White River girls squad is Amanda Lance, a four-year varsity performer who landed as the program’s No. 2 all-time scorer, trailing only Trisha Hermanson (1998-2001). She has taken her game, courtesy of a scholarship offer, to Western Washington University.

Also departed from the Hornet hoop scene is Dustin France, who concluded his White River playing days as the No. 2 alltime scorer for the boys program.

The White River crew – both boys and girls – are now preparing for a doubleheader with neighboring Enumclaw High.

On Friday, the programs will square off in the EHS gym; the girls take the court at 5:15 p.m., followed by the boys at 7.

Wednesday, December 2, 2015• THE COURIER-HERALD • Page 15 seems to miss a beat. When an all-league player is lost to graduation, another steps into a starring role.

The result is a record of accomplishment rivaled by few in the state. Since taking over the White River girls program, Gibson has directed the Hornets to state-tournament appearances in 15 of his 17 seasons.

The Hornets have brought fourth-place trophies home to Buckley following the past two state Class 2A tournaments.

While the personnel losses are significant – aside from Lance, graduation also took first-team, all-league selection Kristin Sturdivan – Gibson’s cupboard is far from bare.

Among those returning to the court is junior forward Kendall Bird, who has been a first-team, all-league pick her first two seasons. She is joined by senior Darian Gore, a second-team pick a season ago, and junior Maci Goethals, an honorable mention selection.

This year’s varsity, Gibson admits, is plenty deep. On the roster – aside from

Kellen Hall will be walking the sideline for his fifth season as head coach of the Hornet boys basketball team.

The Hornets have a solid mix of seniors and younger players this time around.

Hall said the season, “may hinge on how well our younger players can mix in with our solid core of seniors. Our league should be extremely competitive with the top three schools from last year returning the majority of their core players.”

Back on the court at 6 feet, 6 inches is senior Josh Erickson, a returning allleague honorable mention playing guard/ forward.

Hall said Erickson can “do little bit of everything.”

All-around athlete Scotty Garvin, the Hornets’ quarterback on the football squad, will play forward. At 6-5 and also a returning all-league honorable mention, Hall said Garvin “adds a layer of toughness to our team. Very tough to

Senior Justus Rainwater at 6-6 will play the four and five spot.

Hall said he, “has the potential to be an absolute handful for teams on the inside.

He is extremely tough to keep off of the boards, and will draw a lot of attention from opponents.”

The Hornets will attack the paint and play an inside-out rotation.

“We have the potential to be an exciting team that can both get out in transition as well as have multiple players with the ability to play above the rim,” Hall said. “Defensively we hope to be a tough nosed team who uses its length to cause problems for opponents.”

Also working the sideline with Hall are assistant coaches Tony Chynoweth and Ryan Picinich.

ENUMCLAW FROM 15 young players and experienced veterans, all ready to take the next step.

Last season the Hornets made the district tournament losing to Lincoln, beating Columbia River and losing to Lakes, finishing with a 12-11 record.

This year the girls will be looking to bounce up a step to the state round.

“That is always our goal and where we want to be,” head coach Mindi Dribnak said.

Returning to floor for the Hornets is senior Samantha Engebretsen, playing guard. Engebretsen was injured mid season last year, but was still named first team all-league.

Dribnak said the impact Engebretsen has showed last season when the team went 5-2 when she was at the point and

www.courierherald.com

3-4 after she was injured.

At the post is Kylie Rademacher.

Dribnak said Rademacher is able to pound the paint and move out to the wing and shoot.

The coach said Rademacher and Engebretsen will lead the team this season and, “they are the best kids to coach.

They do everything you ask and more.”

A special addition to the bench this year will be Tate Cody Dribnak, born Oct. 14. The coach said the newest addition to her family will be on the bench, but will likely not get too much playing time.

Also coaching for the Hornets are Heather Hitch and Julie Anderson.

The Hornets opened the season Tuesday at Rogers, past the press deadline.

The girls host White River at 5:15 p.m.

Friday, part of a doubleheader between the neighboring schools.

WHITE RIVER FROM 15 Gore, Bird and Goethals – are seniors Kayla Howard, Sydney Andersen, Dallas Bushaw and Sidney Schultz; junior Lucy Rasmussen; and sophomore sisters Georgia and Sophia Lavinder.

That’s a load of talent returning from a squad that won 24 of 28 games a year ago.

As usual, Gibson is preaching defense and rebounding, factors that will win games even if the offense has an off night.

“If those things come together,” he said, “we have a chance to win a lot of games.”

Rebounding looks to work in the Hornets’ favor every time out, as few teams can match White River’s size. Gore is pushing 6 feet, 3 inches and Bird has grown to 6-2.

White River boys

Coach Rick Tripp lost his top two scorers

to graduation – France at nearly 17 points per game and Brandon Scheer at 12.2 – but plenty of familiar faces remain.

Among the returnees with notable playing experience is junior forward Alex Wallen, who averaged almost 12 points per outing a season ago. Others on the earlyseason varsity roster include seniors Hunter Mills, Chris Marmon, Tyler Meadows and Trevor Truax; juniors Ryan Larsen, Cameron Cawley and Ryan Lusk; sophomores Beau Coogan and Matt Funkhouser; and freshmen Brandon Howard and Joe Flanigan.

At 6-foot-4, Marmon is the tallest of this year’s Hornets.

The veterans had a taste of postseason play last season. The Hornet boys were a sub-.500 squad during the regular season (11-13), but won three of four district games to be among the final 16 Class 2A teams still playing. The run came to an end with a regional loss to Squalicum High.

Second-year Spartan head coach Jordan Moog said Sumner’s upcoming season is “looking to be an exciting one.”

When the Spartans take the court this season, they are bound to look different than in years past.

Five “very important players” graduated last season, she said.

This season, Sumner will have three seniors on the team.

Madison Coates, Claire Selmer and newcomer Julia Payne will head the squad.

“Both Coates and Selmer have a few years of experience on varsity, they’ll be great leaders,” Moog said.

Another returner this season will be junior Joy Mahnken.

Mahnken spent last season on the bench after suffering a torn ACL. “She looks great and will make a big impact this year,” Moog said. “She will share the point guard position with our other junior Jane Allyn Norris, who is also a very quick guard that will set the pace well.”

Moog said during the last four seasons she has been at Sumner, one of those as head coach, the Spartans have made it to the Class 3A Sweet 16.

“But (we) haven’t been able to knock that door down,” she added.

She said the Spartans’ priority this season will be defense.

As well as playing a faster paced offense.

Sumner will also play two freshman this season, one of those being Jaylin Borden Moog said Borden, who was named first team all-league for soccer, will also get a lot of playing time this season.

Dan Lisk returns for his second season coaching the Panthers girls basketball team.

Last year, the Bonney Lake finished the season in the middle of the pack at No. 5 in the South Puget Sound League 3A. Overall, Bonney Lake’s record was 10-14 and 5-9 in league play.

Lisk said returning players for the Panthers are junior Payton Mitchell along with seniors Brooklyn Gratzer, Samantha Boudreau, Danielle Lisk, Emily Stonerock and Emily White.

Mitchell, Gratzer and Boudreau are returning starters from 2014.

Newcomers to the team, he said are sophomores Olivia Grob and Raelyn Kimmel with juniors Shaya McQueen, Taryn Shelin, Julia Stephenson and Amanda Hone.

“The Lady Panthers look to improve on last season’s playoff qualifying fifth place SPSL 3A finish,” Lisk said.

Bonney Lake’s season started with a nonleague matchup against the Ballard Beavers Tuesday, Dec. 1.

Next up for the Panthers is a home game against Fife with tip off set for 7 p.m.

Thursday, Dec. 3.

“Bonney Lake is counting on a tough nonleague schedule (Ballard, Rogers, Tahoma and Glacier Peak) to get them ready to battle in the very competitive 3A SPSL,” Lisk said.

BL grid season ends with playoff defeat After knocking off the Lincoln Abes, the Bonney Lake Panthers advanced to the quarterfinals of the state Class 3A football playoffs.

The Panthers looked to face the defending 3A state champions, the Eastside Catholic Crusaders.

Bonney Lake’s season came to end after losing 47-7 on Nov. 20.

“It was a great year,” coach Jason Silbaugh said. “It wasn’t necessarily how we ended but more so how we started, matched with how we finished.”

Preseason polls ranked the Panthers seventh or eighth in the South Puget Sound League 3A. Silbaugh said it was “a cool year.”

The Panthers went further into the postseason than any football team in school history.

Eastside Catholic scored first with a 33 yard touchdown pass.

The point after was no good and the Crusaders led 6-0.

Returning to the EHS hoop programs are Morgan Tinney (above) and Josh Erickson (right). New to the bench for the Hornet girls is Tate Cody Dribnak, born Oct. 14 to EHS coach Mindi Dribnak.

The Panthers scored next, the team’s only points of the game.

For the only time during the game, Bonney Lake led 7-6 after a 22-yard touchdown pass from senior quarterback Dane Wagner to senior running back Ethen Koepke.

The loss brought the 2015 season to an end, the Panthers will be back in action next fall. “(We) didn’t lose for lack of trying,” Silbaugh said. “The kids played their hearts out and that was reflective of how our season went.”

He added, the players weren’t too worried about the score on the scoreboard, they just kept playing. “(They) played extremely hard and never gave up,” he said.

Silbaugh added credit goes to Eastside Catholic on the win.

“They may be the best team in the state, in any classification,” he said.

The new F-150 pickup is the first with an aluminum body, making it hundreds of pounds lighter than its predecessors. Class-exclusive, military grade ,aluminumalloy body. This is the same 5,000/6,000-series high-strength grade of aluminum that’s used in industries such as aerospace, commercial transportation and energy. Our objective: reduce weight while increasing strength. What’s more, aluminum is resistant to dents and corrosion. The new Ford F-150 is lighter by up to 700 pounds. The results: more hauling and towing capability. Improved power-to-weight ratio for faster acceleration and greater pulling power. More responsive handling.

Quicker braking. And all achieved with even greater efficiency.

The 6-foot-2 Gore was a second-team, all-South Puget Sound League 2A selection a season ago.

Here’s what Humboldt State coach Joddie Gleason had to say about Gore, provided by email: “She will provide length and back row defense to our team along with

the ability to score from inside and out. Darian is the type of student-athlete that will fit in perfectly into our system.

She is an outstanding student, with a strong work ethic both on the court and in the classroom and is a person with strong character. The Marine Biology department will be gaining another great candidate into their program. With the gradu-

softball for the University of Massachusetts.

The official signing ceremony took place at Enumclaw High, where Breidenbach is a senior.

A dominating pitcher, Breidenbach is one of seven UMass signees.

Breidenbach dominated on the mound in 2015 for Enumclaw High School and was the 2015 Washington State Gatorade Player of the Year. As a junior in 2015, she posted a 15-3 record and a miniscule 0.74 ERA. In 361 innings pitched throughout her prep career, Breidenbach has fanned 596 hitters.

In her three years of high school fastpitch, Breidenbach has been an all-South Puget Sound League 3A selection following each season.

“Quinn is a fierce competitor and will complement our pitching staff in a number of ways,” UMass coach Kristi Stefanoni said. “She has a hunger for winning and improving, so that in my mind makes her the complete package. Quinn’s numbers and awards speak for themselves but she will be successful here because she puts her team and teammates first.”

The University of Massachusetts participates in the Atlantic 10 Conference, competing against teams from Day ton, Ford ha m, George Mason, George Washington, La Salle, Rhode Island, Saint Joseph’s, Saint Louis and St. Bonaventure.

During the 2015 season, which opened in early February and went into May, UMass placed eighth in the 10-team conference, compiling a league record of 8-14 and an overall mark of 15-28.

SIGNING FROM 21 signed a national letter-ofintent to become a track and field athlete at the University of Montana.

Riley (5-10, 180) signed with the Big Sky Conference program during a Nov. 18 ceremony at Sumner High. He will join the Grizzlies in the fall of 2016.

Riley has been a stand-

out performer for the Spartan track and field program. At last year’s Class 3A state meet, he took second-place honors in the high jump, clearing 6 feet, 6 inches. He also had qualified for state in both hurdle races, finishing fourth in the 300meter run and eighth at 110 meters. He also was a part of Sumner’s statequalifying relay teams.

That versatility will

serve him well, as Montana has recruited Riley as a decathlete. The decathlon features 10 events involving running, jumping and throwing.

“Josh is one of those special athletes who knows what hard work is and he’s not afraid of it.

He’s quick, he’s fast, he’s got good foot speed, he can jump. He’s going to be very solid for us,” UM coach Brian Schweyen said. “I’m extremely happy to have him, and I think we’re lucky to have him.

He aspires to be great, so I think we can do great things with him.”

The Big Sky is a sprawling conference with three member schools in California, two in Montana and Utah, and one each in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, North Dakota, Colorado and Arizona.

Give a living plant during winter’s dark days The first week of December is when holiday gift plants appear as the easy and practical solution for Christmas, hostess and personal gifts. There are many advantages of giving a living plant during the dark days of winter: • They are easy to find, not just nurseries and garden centers; in December you’ll find these plants at home stores, drug stores and supermarkets.

• You don’t have to worry if a living plant will fit, ruin a diet or need to be exchanged.

• You’ll be supporting a true “growth industry.”

• It is the only gift that sucks away carbon dioxide and replenishes oxygen in a room (OK, maybe there are machines that do this but they don’t look as festive sitting on a table).

• Plants are more colorful, personal and smell better than gift cards.

• You don’t have to wrap a gift plant; this time of year they come with their pots wrapped up in festive foil and already adorned with holiday bows, so you can pick one up on your way to an event – perfect for last-minute shoppers.

What plant is best to give?

houseplant can stay in f lower for months in a cool room and you have the choice of giving an amaryllis already in flower or as part of a ready- toplant kit that comes with plant, pot and soil. Just add water. This is a great plant for college dorms, nursing homes or small apartments as it doesn’t take up much room. Protect them from cold and don’t let the bulb’s roots sit in their own drainage water.

The tall stem can grow 2 feet or more and will lean toward the light so provide support and turn the pot often.

SCHOOL DISTRICT VISIT US ONLINE: SUMNERSD.ORG

SUPERINTENDENT MESSAGE All families want what is best for their children, but they don’t always realize how absences can add up to academic struggling. Sometimes children are allowed to miss school when it’s not absolutely necessary.

This often happens before and after the winter holidays, as families try to squeeze a few more days out of the vacation season. Principals and teachers have an opportunity to reduce holiday absences by making sure parents and students understand the toll that absenteeism takes on achievement.

Is your family planning a trip for the holidays? As you think about your arrangements, remember the importance of sending your child to school every day possible.

Every year, absences spike in the weeks before and after the winter holiday as families squeeze in a few more vacation days. We know that just a few missed days here and there, even if they’re excused absences, can add up to lost learning time and put children behind in school.

This is as true in kindergarten as it is in high school.

Put simply, too many absences at any age can affect a student’s chances for academic success and eventually for graduation.

We recognize that holidays are an important time for reconnecting with families. The costs of plane tickets often influence when you want to travel. But keep in mind the costs to your children’s education if they miss too much school— and the message you will be sending about the importance of attendance. Even if you get a homework packet from the teacher, it doesn’t make up for the direct instruction that happens in the classroom. Our teachers will be teaching, and our students will be learning, right up until vacation starts and the first day back. This holiday season, give your children the gift of an education and the habit of attendance.

At the November meeting the Board of Directors: HONORED out-going Board Member, Paul Bucich, for serving on the School Board 2011-2015.

APPROVED a resolution to go before the voters February 2016 that would enable bonds to build, expand, and improve school facilities.

HEARD Maple Lawn Students report on what they are learning and how it aligns with the School Improvement Plan and District goals.

ROLL OF HONOR The School Board would like to recognize and honor outgoing Board member, Paul Bucich, for his contribution and critical role in promoting student learning and achievement in the Sumner School District.

Paul has served on the school board from 2011 – 2015; serving as Vice President 2011-2012 and Board President 2012-2014. In addition to providing valuable insight and a deep understanding of the legislative process, Paul has consistently focused the Board on public process and their role as civic leaders.

Superintendent, Dr. Sara Johnson, comments “How fortunate we are to have exceptionally talented, incredibly dedicated people leading our district. Every action you take is based on what is best for our 9,000+ students. You provide leadership for academic programs and achievement, district funding, school facilities and many other critical issues. Your service ensures that decisions about our schools are made by people who are most familiar with the needs of our community.”

A GREAT PLACE TO LEARN!

FOR EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY, IN EVERY CLASSROOM TEACHER TUESDAY

FREE HOLIDAY COMMUNITY DINNER Over the past decade the community dinner at Sumner High School has grown from serving 89 people 10 years ago, to over 800 last year with over 200 students and staff serving as volunteers.

Teacher Tuesday is a weekly opportunity for the district to highlight highly effective educators in our schools making a difference. Every Tuesday a teacher will be recognized for their continuous excellence in teaching. The district appreciates and would like to recognize:

The dinner is served by student volunteers in a holiday atmosphere and is completely FREE and open to anyone and everyone in the community! Santa will be visiting during the event to take pictures with the families and give away toys.

Students, community members and the high schools’ award-winning jazz band will provide entertainment for dinner guests. Children may participate in crafts; play games or watch a movie in Santa’s Corner.

Elhi Hill Alternative Program teacher, Carol Stumpf, for her commitment to making sure students graduate and are prepared for life.

Maple Lawn Elementary teacher, Michelle Nazelrod, for teaching students the difference between reading versus understanding.

Bonney Lake Elementary teacher, Stacy Rohrbach, for providing students with a strong framework for socialemotional health.

Visit the District Website to read more about their impact on student success. To nominate a teacher for Teacher Tuesday, email teachertuesday@ sumnersd.org.

CONGRATULATIONS TRANSPORTATION The annual winter inspection of the Sumner School District’s school bus fleet this month resulted in 100% of the buses meeting safety standards established by the Washington State Patrol (WSP), earning the Transportation Department a rating of “outstanding.” The WSP safety team inspects district buses twice a year - the full operating fleet in summer during a planned inspection, and about 25 percent of the buses in winter during a surprise inspection. The district has maintained an “outstanding” rating since 1989.

HOUR OF CODE We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever field our students choose to go into as adults, their ability to succeed will increasingly hinge on understanding how technology works. But only a tiny fraction of us are learning computer science, and less students are studying it than a decade ago.

That’s why our entire district is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (Dec. 7-13). More than 100 million students worldwide have already tried an Hour of Code.

Our Hour of Code is a statement that Sumner School District is ready to teach these foundational 21st century skills.

Families in Sumner and Bonney Lake are invited to celebrate the holidays at the free Holiday Community Dinner, sponsored by the Sumner High School ASB and Leadership classes. Sumner High School students welcome all members of the community to enjoy a holiday theme, hot meal, visit Santa’s Corner or stop by the holiday food pantry.

SCHOOL BOARD UNANIMOUSLY PASSES BOND RESOLUTION At the November 18 school board meeting, the Sumner School District Board of Directors voted unanimously to approve a bond election in February 2016. The proposition to be set before voters would authorize the district to build, expand, and improve school facilities through $145.6 million in bonds. Passage of this proposition would allow Sumner School District to build a new elementary school and early learning center, replace Emerald Hills Elementary, expand and modernize Sumner High School, expand Bonney Lake High School and Mountain View Middle School, and make middle school field and District-wide safety and security improvements. With passage of this proposition and issuance of bonds, the District anticipates using approximately $6,300,000 of impact fees and receiving approximately $27,700,000 of matching money from the State to help complete these projects.

The bonds will be repaid from annual excess property tax levies over 20 years. The District anticipates a tax rate increase (over the existing rate) of approximately $.45 per $1,000 of assessed value, or $90.00 per year (or $7.50 per month) for a home valued at $200,000. With this tax rate increase, the total bond tax rate will be approximately $2.41 through 2028.

Local ballots will mail on January 22, 2016. The 18-day voting period will continue through the Election Day of February 9, 2016.

Exemptions from taxes may be available to homeowners who are 61 or older, or disabled, and who meet certain income requirements. To determine if you qualify, call the Pierce County Assessor at (253) 798-2169.
