Lake Forest Park wins Shoreline School District Global Reading Challenge

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

The Home Run Readers from Lake Forest Park Elementary
A team of Lake Forest Park Elementary 4th and 5th graders won the Shoreline School District Global Reading Challenge. The "Home Run Readers" coached by librarian Merrilyn Tucker, edged teams from six other Shoreline elementary schools.

Lake Forest Park advances to the regional challenge on March 10 at the Kingsgate Library in Kirkland.

The Global Reading Challenge is a cooperative effort between King County Library System and local public school districts. This is a Battle of the Books-style program that allows 4th and 5th graders across the county to work together as a team and challenge other schools to correctly answer questions about the selected books. Each year, King County Library System children's librarians select 10 titles in a wide range of reading levels especially suited to the interests of young readers.

Register to help frame the Vision House complex

Vision House/Jacob’s Well Builds Framework With Your Help!
Framing Kick-off April 2, 2011 9am
Register to help NOW!

On April 2, 2011, folks will begin to hear some banging and hammering in the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park neighborhood that is the hope for some lucky homeless women and children. On each weekend of April, there will be 200+ volunteers at the site of Jacob’s Well to start the framing of the building to contain 20 housing units, a licensed child care center, after-school space and a crisis center to help homeless mothers and their children restore their lives.

The foundation is poured, money has been raised, and lead framers recruited-and now an army of volunteers is needed to start "Building Hope One Board at a Time". 200 volunteers are needed for EVERY SATURDAY during the month of April. Volunteer jobs include actual hands-on framing work, as well as cooking a serving food, handling volunteer registration on site, taking photographs, etc.


A community meeting will be held March 10, 7:30am at the Third Place Commons in Lake Forest Park (17171 Bothell Wy. NE, Lake Forest Park), to share more details about this next phase. Coffee and pastries will be provided.

With the extreme setbacks in the economy over the past few years, the Vision House Jacob’s Well team has had to re-think how to build the facility. With many typical funding sources unavailable, and our commitment to building our complexes debt-free, the project has been divided into several pieces and is being built in a step-by-step, pay-as-you-go process, just like the very first Vision House complex that was built in the mid 1990s.

Dozens of churches, community groups, businesses and individuals are supporting various parts of the project with volunteer labor, in-kind contributions and funding. Throughout 2011, volunteer groups led by professional construction workers, will be building the first of the two Jacob’s Well complexes.

The vision continues as we reach out to the homeless in another community, to help promote positive transformation of their lives.

About Vision House

Vision House is a Christian-based non-profit providing transitional housing, child care and support services to homeless mothers and their children, and separately to men recovering from drug or alcohol addiction. Since Vision House began in 1990, more than 700 homeless children, women and men have received housing and support services to assist them in achieving independence and self sufficiency.

Vision House owns and operates four transitional housing facilities and a child care center in south King County. In March 2010, Vision House broke ground in Shoreline on a housing complex for homeless children and mothers. The Vision House Jacob’s Well facility will include 20 housing units, a child care center, counseling offices and program space. Visit the website for more information.
