MARYSVILLE — Even before they start serving up meals, the student chefs at the School House Cafe on the Totem Middle School campus are already hard at work. On Thursday, Jan. 3, roughly 40 students from Marysville-Pilchuck High School and the Small Learning Communities of Marysville Getchell High School are cleaning out the kitchen after their winter break and preparing various dishes for the following week and beyond. Wendy Hodgins, a paraprofessional with the Marysville School District, has helped the students in the public serving area and behind the scenes of the largely student-run restaurant, whose customer base
averages about three to four tables of four to six diners each during the three days each week that it’s open for business. “Around Valentine’s Day last year, we actually had to turn people away,” Hodgins said. “I’ve heard the chefs say it gets slow during the holidays, but it’s seemed pretty busy to me.

MARYSVILLE — After leading the Marysville School District for the past nine years, and serving more than 40 years in education, Larry Nyland announced on Jan. 3 that he would be retiring as the school district’s superintendent at the end of the school year. “We’ve completed the bond issue from 2006, plus some bonus projects. Our graduation rates have increased. Our schools have turned a corner, so
what do they need next? It’s similar to what they needed when I came in, which was someone with a lot of energy for building community and partnerships. A big part of me still wants that to be me, but I need a little bit more balance in my life.” Caldie Rogers, president and CEO of the Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce, deemed Nyland a valued member of the Chamber Board whose input on its Government Affairs Committee she credited
