Wendy Fryberg during her last Marysville School Board meeting as Director District 4.
MARYSVILLE — Wendy Fryberg began serving on the Marysville School District Board of Directors in 2010, after being appointed to the Director District 4 position in the wake of Michael Kundu’s resignation, and she retained that seat in 2011, after running unopposed, but when that term expired this year, she chose not to run for re-election. As such, the Marysville School Board was joined by members of the Marysville School District, as well as the surrounding Marysville and Tulalip communities, in honoring Fryberg’s service to the school district during the Board’s regular session meeting on Monday, Nov. 18.

MARYSVILLE — The students of the Quil Ceda and Tulalip elementary schools received some special visitors on the morning of Monday, Nov. 18, who kicked off American Education Week by letting them know that their hard work has not gone unnoticed. “People from across the United States are taking a look at what you’re doing, right here in your schools, and they’re very impressed,” said Kim Mead, president of the Washington Education Association, as she joined Marysville Education Association President Arden Watson and Anthony Craig, coprincipal of the Quil Ceda and Tulalip elementary schools, in unfurling banners proclaiming the two schools to be Washington State High-Performing Priority Schools for 2013. Dennis Van Roekel, president of the National Education Association, drew a few impressed exclamations from the students when he told them that he’d come all the way from Washington, D.C., to see their schools, but those noises grew even louder when he presented oversized checks for $500 each to the Quil Ceda and Tulalip elementary schools for their libraries.
