MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Community Food Bank and Toy Store teamed up for another holiday season to help families in need celebrate with festive favorites on their dinner plates and gifts to give each other.

Friday [Dec. 21].” Deierling anticipated that the number of families receiving Christmas meal baskets from the Food Bank would increase this year because the Food Bank already served Thanksgiving meal baskets to 8 percent more families this year, from 665 families last year to 716 families this year. At the same time, Deierling praised the Marysville community for stepping up its food donations to try and meet this increased need. While the food donations from food drives, private donations and red barrels around town added up to approximately 83,600 pounds of food from the month of October through Dec. 17 of last year,

Kathy and Ken Christiansen show off his going-away cake at his last Lakewood School District Board of Directors meeting as Director District 3 on Dec. 18.

LAKEWOOD — The Lakewood School District Board of Directors marked the end of an era on Tuesday, Dec. 18, as 11-year Director District 3 incumbent Ken Christiansen attended his last Board meeting as a Board member, but his successor was already there to greet the Board and his predecessor. Christiansen was joined at the Board meeting by his wife Kathy and their children, Rob and Karen, as Ken carved off slices of chocolate cake to commemorate the occasion and posed for photos with an oversized farewell card signed by well-wishers. Although Dave Kiefer was appointed as Ken Christiansen’s successor in the Director District 3 position by the Board on Dec. 7, he won’t be sworn into that seat until Jan. 16 of next year. Kiefer still showed up at the Dec. 18 Board meeting

to join those congratulating Christiansen on his accomplishments. “While the other board members and I are sad to see Mr. Christiansen step down, we are all pleased to have Mr. Kiefer join us,” Lakewood School District Superintendent Dr. Dennis Haddock said, as he noted that Dave Kiefer and his wife Kim have lived in the school district for 15 years. “Dave comes equipped to serve on the school Board with a comprehensive skill set. He has been a staunch supporter of the Lakewood School District from early on and we are delighted to welcome him into his new role.” Dave and Kim Kiefer have two children whom he deemed “Lakewood lifers,” having attended Lakewood schools from kindergarten through high school — their son Sam is a sophomore at Pacific Lutheran University, and daughter Rachel is a senior at Lakewood SEE SCHOOL, PAGE 2
