“Whatever the task – managing an experiment in chemistry, coordinating and communicating a technology initiative, or jumping in as the go-to guy when you take 160 people on a 10-day trip to Ireland – Vince Santo Pietro is not only one of our school leaders, but he also believes in the importance of being a team player and partner,” his nomination read in part. “
In his classroom Vince is the master of questioning strategies, probing students and encouraging higher level thinking skills as he provides feedback to push students toward their learning goals. He incorporates real world applications to make subject matter relevant, and stays current with developments in his teaching assignment.”
“Vince brings as much zest and pride and pleasure to a new lab experiment as he does to a brand new iPad, as much passion to a Power Standard as he would to correcting an astronomy quiz. Vince is a doer not to keep busy, but to stretch and to grow and to keep on learning and trying, and it is that fundamental, innocent, unvarnished revelry in learning that makes him such an unassuming but tremendously powerful role model for our students. Vince personifies the most basic cornerstone of our work – learning - in everything he touches at Shorecrest, and indeed in our larger community,” his nomination concluded.

"This is the third year of the Neighborhood Reductions Reward Program, and we are remarkably pleased with the projects we have been able to fund," commented Chris Martin, President of CleanScapes.
"I think this is a great way for CleanScapes to collaborate with neighborhoods in Shoreline, and give back to the City," commented Mayor McGlashan.
As expected, attendance at the Sunday April 15th’s Democratic Precinct Caucuses was down from the huge crowds experienced in 2008, but the 200 PCOs and members who gathered at Thursday’s general meeting were enthusiastic about supporting Barack Obama for President, Jay Inslee for Governor and other Democrats near the top of the ballot for statewide office.

A special feature on this day will be the opportunity to participate in a class at the park on Streamside Ecology from 10 to 12, if you choose. This class is conducted by the Adopt-a-Stream Foundation, and taught by their knowledgeable staff.

“Thanks to the many hundreds of you who either e-mailed or called my office, there are no cuts to K-12 and higher education. The budget also reflects the feedback from you requesting that the legislature protect our vulnerable citizens by maintaining funding for important safety net programs, including the Basic Health Plan, Disability Lifeline, and family planning grants.

Mike says "There are many uncommon and special trees on the tour along with many native trees. Many people will be surprised at the variety of trees in our own back yard."
