This will enhance their work in implementing “bold and doable” ideas from the 2013-2014 curriculum review. After Lakeside, Tori graduated from Williams College and then worked in a physics lab in Vienna for a year and a half. She spent this past summer orienteering in Europe, including competing at the World Orienteering Championship in Venice, Italy. She is beginning a Ph.D. in applied physics at Stanford this fall with funding from a National Science Foundation graduate research fellowship. Annica Carlson and Drew Garfield ’05 were married June 21 on Decatur Island in the San Juan Islands. Lakesiders in attendance included Naomi Brodkin, Laura Dellplain, Jill Watt, Blake Garfield ’99, Patrick Flajole ’05, Thane Garfield ’96, Caroline Daly, Issac Axelrod, Yonas Behboud ’05, Taya Marquardt ’96, and Patricia Peek Flajole ’74. Annica and Drew are living in Seattle, where Drew works for his family’s business, Bedrooms and More, and Annica works for LaunchBox, a user- and market-research company. After graduating summa cum laude from Arizona State University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in finance, Thomas “Taxi” Wilson spent two years in South Korea as a Fulbright teaching assistant. While there, he co-founded the Korea Bridge Initiative (www.bridgeinitiative.us), an

educational nonprofit organization providing tutoring to students who could not otherwise afford it, thereby helping to bridge Korea’s wealth gap. He returned to the U.S. to attend Yale Law School this fall. Miranda Timonen visited Lakeside Middle School in May to share with the 5th grade what real-life search and rescue is all about. She is a volunteer firefighter with the Skykomish Fire Department and is trained as an EMT. Lakeside Middle School teacher Kristina Peterson shared: “Miranda taught some of the key elements of searching, such as scene safety. She explained how rescue personnel get around in buildings by tracing around a wall or keeping one hand on the fire hose, and she explained how the thermal image cameras help them ‘see’ people

through the smoke. She gave us more details about the issues in search and rescue that people confront in reallife situations, detailing recent events including the Oso landslide, Malaysian airplane disappearance, and Korean ferry capsizing. Fifth-grade students are learning robotics. They are building Lego robots and programming them to ‘search’ for a Beanie Baby inside a maze and bring it to a ‘safe’ spot.”
