 Teacher Appreciation Week
May 4-10, 2008
The saying goes, “if you can read
this, thank a teacher." Teachers help us learn the ABCs, multiplication tables and hundreds of
other skills that help us function in our world. The National PTA
started the annual Teacher Appreciation Week, celebrated this year from
May 4-10, to recognize the lasting contributions teachers make in our
lives.
Thank you!

More than 5,000 students statewide have signed up to participate in the new College Bound Scholarship program, but many more are eligible to sign up if they act before the end of the school year. The College Bound Scholarship offers 7th and 8th graders from low-income families the opportunity to attend college if they take the College Bound pledge, stay in school, take challenging courses, stay out of trouble, and graduate.
The scholarship will cover the cost of tuition and books (at public college rates) and can be used at two- and four-year public colleges and universities, most independent four-year colleges, or at private career or vocational schools in the state of Washington. As many as 50,000 students qualify for the program. To be eligible, students must be enrolled in 7th or 8th grade, qualify for free or reduced-price meals, or be a foster child.
