Willing to Lend Ski/Snowboard Equipment?
A Salmon Bay family is looking for ski or snowboard equipment to borrow for one time to mountain for 5th grader. If you have gear you are willing to lend, please contact Melanie.
Absent our input, during the upcoming legislative session, state legislators will hear more about transportation and special interest tax breaks than they will about fixing education funding. We can and will change this. Start by emailing your legislators. Next, see democracy in action by joining other Salmon Bay families at Focus Day in Olympia on January 19th (MLK Day) and check out the Focus Day page on the new FOSB site's Legislative Committee page. We hope to join with local PTAs to share a bus ride. For details, email Scott or Ian.
