MARYSVILLE — Sunnyside Elementary music students and their families made their voices heard in support of the program that’s made a difference in their lives. Brenda Ehrhardt led her Sunnyside music students in a “sing-in” protest in front of the Marysville School District’s offices on the morning of June 30, performing familiar standards for passing motorists and school district staff to show not only what they’ve learned from Ehrhardt, but also how much she means to them. “She always helped me find a strong spot for myself,” Sunnyside music student Kate Andrews said. “We made a didgeridoo in her class.” Although Ehrhardt will still be teaching music at Sunnyside, even after the Marysville School District’s reductions in force, she’ll only be at that school for three days each week which has left a number of children and parents alike concerned about the quality of education that those kids will receive, which they argue is enhanced by music.

MARYSVILLE — For nearly a decade, Fridays on Third Street have meant free entertainment and cheap eats during the summer months, and this past Independence Day weekend was no exception. “The Outer Court” returned to the parking lot of the Carabinieri Bar drive-through and walk-up stand for the ninth consecutive year on July 1, with Snohomish County classic pop

rock band “The Dean’s List” kicking things off at 7 p.m. as spectators pulled up chairs, sat or the grass or danced along to the music. “If you missed them, you missed a really great show,” said Chrissie Clementson, who began organizing the annual event when she still owned the Carabinieri Bar. “I get that it’s the weekend before the Fourth of July, so people are doing different stuff, but even before I contacted them, folks like SEE COURT, PAGE 2
