Wells Fargo donates $75K to Tacoma Goodwill jobs program for veterans Posted online Fri., Nov. 8 Photo Courtesy Tacoma Goodwill Tacoma Goodwill officials announced today Wells Fargo has awarded a $75,000 grant to help fund "Operation: GoodJobs," the nonprofit organization's veteran's career transition program. Operation: GoodJobs provides a variety of services to empower military veterans with the tools they need to find employment, succeed in the workplace and permanently support their families. To date, the Tacoma-based program is helping more than 350 transitioning veterans with job placement, retention and advancement support services. Last year, Wells Fargo announced it is committing $35 million over the next three years as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting military service members and veterans.

Lowell Elementary School to host dedication ceremony for Mr. Dahl Drive Posted online Fri., Nov. 8 Article and Photos By Todd Matthews, Editor Lowell Elementary School will host a dedication ceremony later this month to formally unveil Mr. Dahl Drive. Former principal Bob Dahl passed away on March 18, 2012, at the age of 58 after he was hospitalized following a diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a lung disease in which the lungs develop scar tissue of unknown causes, according to Tacoma Public Schools officials. Dahl began working for the school district in 1983 when he was hired as a fifth-grade teacher at Oakland Elementary. He also taught at DeLong Elementary School as a fifth-grade teacher from 1987 to 1994. He worked as an administrative assistant at Reed Elementary School from 1994 to 1995, and served as principal of Stanley Elementary School from 1995 to 1997. He began as principal of Lowell in 1997. In January, a group of students submitted a request to City Hall to rename the 800 Block of North 13th Street, which runs from North Yakima Avenue to the school's playground, "Mr. Dahl Drive." The request worked its way through Tacoma's Landmarks Preservation Commission and a series of public hearings before it was approved by Tacoma City Council in June. According to city staff, more than 160 comments were received at City Hall. The response was overwhelmingly in support of the name change. The dedication ceremony to celebrate renaming
810 North 13th Street to 810 Mr. Dahl Drive will be held on Mon., Nov. 18, at 4 p.m. outside Lowell Elementary School. More information is available online at lowellptatacoma.org/sample-page/bobdahl-memorial-fund.
